UniversalGiving
Our mission is to connect people to quality giving and volunteer opportunities worldwide.
What it funded, over time
Every grant placed by its stated purpose and the recipient’s mission, by year, FY2021 to 2022.
Where the money goes
Grants by size, and the largest recipients.
How this is measured
By grant size · FY2022
- Under $10k2 grants · $13k
- $10k–50k1 grant · $14k
- $50k–250k1 grant · $83k
| Recipient | Amount |
|---|---|
| United Way of Greater Houston | $82,815 |
| National Multiple Sclerosis | $14,300 |
| American Diabetes Association | $8,000 |
| US Fund for UNICEF | $5,395 |
Does the money reach high-need areas?
Each grant placed by the hardship in its grantee’s ZIP, against the area’s typical level.
Its human-services grants (FY21–21, $6k) land where the poverty rate runs at 24%, against an area that typically sits at 13%. 100% of those dollars go to grantees based in above-average-need neighborhoods. Most of its grants land in higher-need ZIPs.
How this is measured
Grants abroad, by region: $443k on the FY2024 return
Schedule F, as filed: 1 region. The IRS asks for region and purpose, not the recipient, so no country or grantee can be named here.
Stated purpose: Program Support

How this is measured
8 grantees tracked through their own filings, 2017–2025.
Each grant beside the grantee’s revenue from every source, year by year.
How this is measured
Counted here: distinct organizations funded across 2017 to 2025, not grant rows in a single year, so this will not match the grant count on the cover.
Each grantee is resolved to its own IRS returns. Association, dated; never a causal claim.
Where the money sits, by cause and then by grantee
Each grantee by its size and the funder’s share of it; top left is load-bearing
Grantee by grantee: a decade per organization, before and after funding
A decade per grantee: revenue shaded, grants as bars, all rows on one timeline.

How do I get to UniversalGiving?
Find your warmest path to UniversalGiving through trustees and officers whose names appear on both boards. Search for your organization and Plinth traces the shortest route it can evidence.
Each link is a name appearing on two organizations’ public IRS 990 filings, matched on that name and, where the filings support it, on location. A same-state match has geographic support, which is a second matching feature rather than confirmation that the two are one person; a cross-state one is the likeliest to be two people who share a name. Every hop shows its tier, low-confidence and distant paths are held back rather than guessed, and it is worth confirming the person before you use the introduction.
