Philanthropy
The Sandberg Family Foundation reported $45,100 in grants paid and $34,757 in total assets for tax year 2023. It reported $1 in revenue and $45,100 in expenses for that year. Sandberg is also listed as a signatory of The Giving Pledge. ProPublica 990
Political Activity
The FEC data covers only Sandberg’s most recent 100 federal contributions, and she has at least 100 federal contributions in the available records. Those sampled contributions total $872,559.65; the sample lists $303,900 classified as Democratic and $568,659.65 with no party classification, so these figures do not represent her full contribution history. The largest sampled recipient was FF PAC, at $500,059.65. FEC
In the News
A 2022 report said Sandberg was stepping down as Meta’s chief operating officer after 14 years to focus on philanthropy. The report described her role in building the company’s advertising business. NewsAPI

Philanthropy
Foundations are matched to a person by name, not by trustee records — so a same-surname family foundation can land here in error. Every entity below links to its full IRS filing; if one doesn’t belong, tell us at hello@skylarkcreations.com and we’ll pull it.
Political Contributions
These figures cover the 100 most recent federal contributions on file, not the full record. The total, party split, top recipients and dates below are all computed over that sample, so each is a floor rather than a complete figure.

Score Breakdown
The PBS is a weighted average of 2 components. The formula is open and versioned — the weight percentages below show how much each component contributes to the final score.
Evidenced charitable giving — built on what they actually give each year, not parked assets. Dominated by generosity (annual giving relative to net worth — the share of your fortune you give), plus the absolute scale of that giving, plus a small nudge for signing the Giving Pledge (a commitment, not a realized action).
