The grant data can also be viewed as a network — county department nodes connected to recipient organization nodes, with edge thickness reflecting dollar amount and color indicating grant category. Click any node to see who funds whom and how much. This shows proposed FY27 funding flows only. It does not show employment, board membership, family connections, or other relationships — those are in the Transparency section.
