giving_total
Total grants paid in the stated years, read from the filing.
giving_total is the sum of grants the funder paid across
giving_years, read from the filing named in
data_source.
It is history. It is not a budget, not a forecast, and not an amount available to apply for. On a community foundation much of it is donor-advised and was never competed; on an operating foundation most of the money funds the foundation's own programmes.
We publish no projection of future giving. A projection would be our arithmetic standing among figures that came from filings.
Shown as: Total giving, in mono with tabular figures, with its year. When absent: Not stated, never a zero. A zero would assert the funder gave nothing. See also payout requirement.
