All 100 foundations

Private foundations ranked by total grants paid — $230,183,546,003.00 in grants paid across the 100 foundations in this slice.

Foundation data: grants paid, latest complete year 2023 (2024 partial — included, each grant labelled by fiscal year). Grants shown on each profile are the foundation's 20 largest matched grants, FY2019–2024 (2000 grants shown, totalling $22,397,840,422.00).

Selection rule: the top 100 foundations by total grants paid (sum of grants_paid in the GetFunded foundation-years file, all fiscal years on file), among foundations with at least 20 matched grants in FY2019–2024. 36 higher-ranked foundations were skipped because they have fewer than 20 matched grants — mostly pharmaceutical patient-assistance foundations whose grants paid are unlinked donations to individuals, so they have no named top recipients. The cut-off is pure rank 136 ($552,752,143.00). See About & method for the full rule.
