Fidelity Charitable has knocked the Gates Foundation off its perch as the top grant-making nonprofit organization in the U.S., The Chronicle of Philanthropy reported last week, citing recent Internal Revenue Service data.
Grants recommended by Fidelity Charitable's donor-advised fund account holders in fiscal 2018 totaled $4.8 billion, while the Gates Foundation distributed $4.6 billion during the same period. The Chronicle said the Gates numbers appeared in 2018 tax documents it filed in November.
