Estimated cumulative funding raised 2000-2025 based on summing 990 revenue filings. Major known sources: Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving ~$14.8M (2016-2020), Vitalik Buterin Ethereum donation ~$15M (2021), SFF grants (multiple rounds), FLI ~$250K (2015), and individual donors. Note: ProPublica shows ~$16.5M net assets as of 2024, which reflects current holdings not cumulative funding raised.
Source evidence
1 src · 1 checkNoteThe claim asserts MIRI's 'Total Funding Raised = $55M (exact stored value: 55,000,000)' as of 2025, calculated by 'summing 990 revenue filings' from 2000-2025. The ProPublica source provides detailed annual revenue and asset data for 2012-2024 only. The source does NOT contain: (1) data for years 2000-2011, (2) a cumulative total of funding raised across all years, or (3) any figure approaching $55M as a cumulative sum. The claim's methodology (summing annual revenues from 990 filings) is conceptually different from the source's presentation of year-by-year snapshots. The source's most recent net assets figure ($16.5M as of 2024) is substantially lower than the claimed cumulative funding of $55M, which is consistent with the claim's own note that net assets reflect 'current holdings not cumulative funding raised.' However, the source does not provide the data needed to verify the $55M cumulative figure. The claim cannot be confirmed or contradicted based on the available source material.
