Read this first · the figures below need context
79% of Winston & Strawn Foundation’s FY2017 grant dollars went to The Trustees Of Columbia University In The City Of New York, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2017 names 2 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it.

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 much its grantees rely on government
Each dot is one organization Winston & Strawn Foundation funds: left to right is the share of its income from government, bottom to top the share from Winston & Strawn Foundation. Bigger dots raise more.
