02The need

Do your dollars go where the need is?

Each grant placed by the hardship in its grantee’s ZIP, then read against the area’s typical level.

show:

Your human-services grants (FY20–24, $21.2M) land where the poverty rate runs at 14%, against an area that typically sits at 10%. 78% of those dollars go to grantees based in above-average-need neighborhoods. Most of your grants land in higher-need ZIPs.

grant to an above-average-need area below average· circle size = grant amount

Matched: human-services grants are those whose grantee’s IRS cause code is Human Services. Placed by people below the poverty linein the grantee’s ZIP, averaged from the tracts in that ZIP; grantee ZIP can differ from where services are delivered.

Which US states your grants reach

US grants placed by each grantee’s ZIP, which can differ from where services are actually delivered. Need from public data — U.S. Census/ACS, CDC PLACES, Eviction Lab, USDA — shown as context about the area, never attributed to your giving.

Where the work is directed

The same grants, placed two ways — where each recipient sits, and where its stated purpose earmarks the money.

About 8% of Anne & Henry Zarrow Foundation’s grant dollars are earmarked, by their stated purpose, for a different county than the recipient’s own address — money that lands at a nonprofit in one place but is meant to do its work in another. Read by recipient address, 93% of the giving stays in OK; read by stated purpose it is 91% — less of the work is directed home than the recipients' locations suggest.

Anne & Henry Zarrow Foundationlessmore of its giving

Placed by recipient address

Recipient view: each grant at its grantee’s ZIP, mapped to a county. Directed view: each grant at the county its stated purpose names, falling back to the recipient’s county when the purpose names no place; US grants only. A county shows only if it carries the top 95% of that view’s dollars. Purposes are read from the foundation’s own 990 grant descriptions.

03Your edge

The orgs you fund vs the ones you don’t

You skew toward the sturdier end of a fragile field.

The organisations you back are larger and somewhat healthier than comparable nonprofits nearby that you don't fund — but the edge is real, not dramatic: 71% of those you fund still carry a fragility flag, against 72% of the unfunded. In a sector where most run thin, you lean toward resilience rather than backing a financially secure elite.

The kind of organization you back

74% of the organizations you back live mainly on donations, against 45% of the comparable nonprofits nearby you don’t fund. The ones you pick show fewer of the warning signs below than the field you don’t fund.

$142M · 375 repeat orgs$6.3M to everyone else

And the relationships you keep tend to grow: grantees you re-up on have seen median revenue of +25% since the first grant, against +21% for the ones you funded once.

375 repeat relationships — 263 still active in FY2024, 112 since wound down; 37 grantees were first funded in FY2024 (too recent to call).

Of your 380 multi-year relationships, 199 repeat the same amount every year (19% of multi-year dollars), the pattern of a standing commitment. The rest vary year to year. Grant terms aren’t stated in the filing; this is inferred from the payment pattern.

You also report $5.3Mapproved for future payment (Form 990-PF, Part XV) — grants already committed but not yet paid, a forward pledge the current-year ledger doesn’t show.

First-time = a grantee’s first year in your filing window; renewed = funded in an earlier year too. As a portfolio matures the renewed share naturally climbs — once funded, an org stays “renewable” — so the signal is the years that buck it (a new-grantee intake wave). The earliest year is left-censored: relationships that predate the data read as “new.” Theme is the grantee’s IRS cause.

TULSA DAY CENTER INC

Conviction

Sustained anchor through transformative growth

The Anne and Henry Zarrow Foundation has supported Tulsa Day Center across five grants between 2020 and 2024, committing $5,313,854 and representing as much as 30% of the organization's budget at peak. Alongside that sustained partnership, the Day Center completed an $8.5 million facility remodel in 2021 funded by a $16 million capital campaign, launched a street-level Outreach Team in 2023, and in 2024 alone logged 18,161 case management contacts, assisted 780 individuals in obtaining identification documents, and helped 283 clients secure housing. Revenue has held steady at a 0% CAGR since the first grant, and net assets have grown modestly, reflecting an organization whose scale is sustained by deep philanthropic relationships — a concentration dynamic worth watching as it looks toward its next chapter.

FRIENDS OF TSAD KADIMA

Funded once

A catalytic bet on rare-reach work

In 2023, the Foundation made a single $29,000 grant to Friends of Tsad Kadima — an amount that represented as much as 39% of the organization's budget that year — supporting its volunteer-driven U.S. fundraising for conductive education programs serving children and young adults with motor disorders in Israel. Since that grant, the organization's revenue has grown 6% in total, and net assets have nearly doubled to 1.9x their prior level, even as recurring deficits point to ongoing structural fundraising pressure. The broader cause has continued to attract attention, with the Jerusalem Foundation announcing a $1 million lead gift from the Helmsley Charitable Trust in 2025 toward a new accessible center for Tsad Kadima.

Trajectories are each organization’s own subsequent IRS filings; milestones are from the public record, linked to source. Revenue is the organization’s whole income from every source, not a return on these grants: we date what happened after a grant, and do not claim the grant caused it.

The map has a center of gravity: the average direction from the rest of the sector toward the organizations the foundation funds — the shape of its giving. Scoring every nonprofit along that direction surfaces the ones that look most like the portfolio.

For reference, the grantee most central to the portfolio’s shape is Restoreokc Inc and the most unlike its peers is William Wallace Foundation. Resemblance is measured on each organization’s own IRS 990 mission text; it reflects how work is described, not its quality or impact.

For each theme you fund, this compares how the sector’s money is shifting with how your own giving is shifting.

Sector change and giving change are each shown relative to their own range, growing (right) or shrinking (left); both normalized, so inflation isn’t mistaken for growth.

Your grantees are a median of 32 years old; the field is 18. You back the established end — and your money leans older still.

The grantmakers whose grantees overlap with yours far more than size alone predicts. Each orbits closer the stronger the alignment; the arcs between them show where they also fund each other. Here it reads as a tightly interlocked camp — most of these funders back each other's grantees too.

Affinity is a Gamma-Poisson posterior co-funding rate, re-centered on the typical rate, so thin evidence shrinks toward no signal. A research starting point: overlap is association, not proof of shared intent.

typical government reliance, FY20–25

Government income is each org’s traced federal awards (USASpending — grants and contracts) plus state payments (open checkbooks) as a share of its total revenue (IRS Form 990); the self-reported government-grant line (990 line 1e) is carried for cross-check: a grantee that reports government grants we could not trace to a source is left off the chart rather than shown as receiving none. An association, not a claim that your grant caused the public funding. Coverage is precision-first — a floor, not a census; state records exist for 9 states, so a grantee outside them shows no state figure (dimmed) rather than a false zero. Federal award amounts are obligations, which can span years, so a single-year share is indicative. 990 filings lag 12–24 months.

How do I get to Anne & Henry Zarrow Foundation?

Find your warmest path to Anne & Henry Zarrow Foundation 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.
