Figure 1
The philanthropic ecosystem of science. The network of funders and their top recipients. For each funder we maintained their top two recipients and then filtered to only include relationships worth over $1M over the period examined. We also removed donor advised funds and single-support foundations. The resulting network shows 55 recipients (circles) and 1254 donors (octagons) with 1422 grant relationships between them. Nodes are colored by region with purple being Northeast, blue being Midwest, green being west, brown being southwest, and orange being the south. We see that most donors have their top recipient/s in the same region, though those with multiple $1M + recipients at times have a top recipient in a different region. Figure generated with Cytoscape 3.10.
