How we count. These figures only include grants paid to organizations in our four impact areas. Hyde Family Foundation gave a total of $18,835,634 in 2025. Grants not included are sponsorships, memberships, contributions to shared philanthropic funds, trustee-directed giving, employee matching gifts and all other giving. We separate capital projects and capacity-building grants from program and operating grants because both vary year to year and would otherwise distort the picture of where ongoing support is distributed.
