Read this first · the figures below need context
95% of The Onota Foundation’s FY2019 grant dollars went to Bank Of America Charitable Gift Fd, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2019 names 5 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2018, the last year The Onota Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 6 organizations, $80k. It is dated, not current.
