One community. Many ways to make a difference.

From human services and education to health, the arts, the environment and more, FY26 grantmaking reached across the issues and opportunities that shape our community.

The largest share—36.4%—supported Public & Societal Benefit, followed by Human Services at 19.2%, Education at 18.2%, and Health at 15.2%.

Together, these investments tell a bigger story about what we can accomplish through generosity.
