Grants are part of the program service expenses of a non-profit organization. This mean a grant has to serve the tax-exempt purpose of the non-profit organization. The purpose of awarded grants has to be detailed in the statements of achievement. [ref]

Notes
Only donors/donees which have granted/received $30,000 or more are listed.
The Jensen Family Foundation was not included in these statistics, as its stated primary purpose is to benefit organizations affiliated to the Church of Scientology.
Note that among all top donees, only one entity has no known link to Scientology (Confederated Tribes of Chilocco), all other organizations have known links to Scientology, which means that Scientology-linked charities donate mostly only to Scientology-linked entities (religious ones included).
