Read this first · the figures below need context
71% of The Miles Foundation Inc’s FY2024 grant dollars went to Community Foundation Of North Texas Inc, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2024 names 7 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2020, the last year The Miles Foundation Inc named its own grantees at scale: 32 organizations, $2M. It is dated, not current.
