FY2012 Grants Paid by Fund Source
Since our inception in 1953, we have made more than $1.2 billion in grants to support education, health care, public safety, social services, animals and the arts – touching nearly all aspects of life in our community.
In the 2012 fiscal year, we awarded grants totaling $66 million. A breakdown of how the grants were invested is shown below, which includes donor-advised, designated and community impact grants. The only way to apply for funding from our donor-advised funds, agency funds and discretionary funds is through the Letter of Inquiry process.
