Read this first · the figures below need context
67% of Valley Fund Charitable Foundation’s FY2024 grant dollars went to National Philanthropic Trust, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2024 names 10 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2023, the last year Valley Fund Charitable Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 19 organizations, $4M. It is dated, not current.
