Source: IRS Form 990, Schedule I, as filed by this organization. These are grants already paid. Unlike private foundations, grantmaking charities and associations often run formal grant programs with real application cycles — check their website for current opportunities. Grants paid directly to individuals are reported to the IRS only as totals, so they do not appear as named lines here.
