The Jeito Foundation concentrates almost all of its giving on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and church-related activities, with a secondary emphasis on Mormon-affiliated higher education. Nearly the entire portfolio supports religious activities and institutions, typically through a small number of very large gifts. The foundation appears to prioritize institutional support for the LDS Church’s needs and for BYU educational programs rather than a broad array of nonprofits or geographic diversification.
Highly concentrated: very few grants (4 total), dominated by one recipient (three grants to the LDS Church totaling $1.4M). Large single gifts rather than many small donations; repeat funding to the same institutional grantees.
