Why there is no giving history here

Award listings from USASpending are not connected yet. What is missing here is a feed on our side, not a document this funder has failed to publish - the listings are public and we have not connected them.

Derived from awards

Computed from the 415 recipients we hold an award to. This is where money we can see went, which is not the same as a statement of what this funder sets out to fund — and the gap between the two is widest where our coverage is thinnest.

Where the recipients are

The recipient's own location, not where the work happens. A national body headquartered in Washington spends money everywhere.

Award sizes

Fixed bands rather than this funder's own quantiles, so two funders can be compared. A per-funder split would make every distribution look the same shape.

  • 100k-500k 575
  • 25k-100k 201
  • 500k-2m 136
  • over-2m 71
  • under-25k 45

By fiscal year

A trend across the years we import, which is a bounded window. A year with no bar is a year outside it, not a year with no funding.

  • FY2014 $49,018,301 (2)
  • FY2015 $8,007,788 (5)

Giving history, from the awards we hold

No dated awards on file for this funder

This table takes one row per fiscal year, built from the awards we hold. We have connected none for this funder that state a year, so there is nothing to group. That is a gap in our coverage, not a finding that the funder gave nothing.

Who has received money from this funder

1028 awards on file, largest first, ranging $0 to $83,000,000.
