Total assets by year

Year	Form	Revenue	Expenses	Giving	Assets	Net assets
FY2025	990-PF	$2,967,529	$2,753,449	$2,661,901	$32,724,762

Figures are as reported on the e-filed return, with no restatement. Fiscal years are the funder's own tax year, labelled by the calendar year the period ends in. A blank line means the return does not carry that figure; a real zero shows as $0. When an amended return replaces an original, every figure here uses the amended return. The original is not shown. Giving is what the funder actually paid out toward its charitable purpose in the year (qualifying distributions on Form 990-PF, charitable disbursements otherwise). Assets are what it holds; giving is what moves.

Grants paid

Recipient	Purpose	Amount	Year	Source
Iowa State University FoundationAmes, IA	Scholarships	$952,587	2024

Recipients are shown as the funder wrote them on the return. A recipient with a link was matched to an organization record; the rest stay as reported and are never guessed. Some links come from other funders' returns: when three or more of them wrote the same name and state with one EIN, and the city on this row matches, we use that EIN. The name on this row is still shown as this funder wrote it.
