Showing the 25 largest of 86 grants.
Every US private foundation files Form 990-PF, and Part XV of that return itemises each grant it paid, with the recipient's name. Lining those lists up across filing years shows which organizations were funded for the first time.
That does work the application checkbox cannot. Whether a foundation says it accepts unsolicited proposals is self-reported and never audited. The grant ledger is behaviour.
Every figure here comes from your own filings. If one looks wrong I would rather hear it than keep publishing it — write to me and I will show you the filings and the arithmetic behind it, and correct it if it is off.
