Left out of every figure on this page: $596k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Partnership for New York City Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money New York City Partnership Foundation Inc raised.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 5 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
