NoteThe source provides detailed Form 990 data for MIRI from 2011-2024, showing annual contributions and net assets. However, the claim asserts a cumulative total of $55M raised from 2000-2025 based on 'summing 990 revenue filings.' The source does not provide: (1) data before 2011 (the earliest filing shown), (2) a cumulative sum calculation, or (3) explicit confirmation of the $55M figure. The claim's methodology (summing annual contributions from 990s) is reasonable, but the source text does not verify the final $55M total. The source does confirm the claim's note that ProPublica shows ~$16.5M net assets as of 2024 (source shows $15.2M, which is close but not exact). Without access to pre-2011 filings or an explicit cumulative total in the source, the $55M claim cannot be verified from this source alone.
