Read this first · the figures below need context
100% of The Palomaki Foundation’s FY2021 grant dollars went to Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2021 names 0 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2020, the last year The Palomaki Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 7 organizations, $4k. It is dated, not current.
