*In order to offer a more representative picture of our granting, we have chosen to exclude two grants from the graphic, totalling $21,945,548.97. Both of them were in the Multi-SDG category and their inclusion would have had the effect of completely overshadowing the other categories. If we include them, the Multi-SDG category represents 65.1% of funds distributed, that is, $22,395,002. If we exclude them, that category then constitutes 3.6% of funds distributed, or $449,453.
