The Foundation has $433 million in total assets under management, with annual grantmaking and distributions of nearly $30million – roughly $11 million of which are the Foundation’s annual discretionary grantmaking dollarsandapproximately$10 millionof whichare granted from donor-advised fundsto nonprofit organizations of their choosing around the state, country and world.
