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 total cumulative funding raised 2000-2025 = $55M based on 'summing 990 revenue filings.' The ProPublica source provides detailed annual Form 990 data (contributions/revenue) for fiscal years 2012-2024, but does NOT show: (1) filings before 2012 (the source states 'Nonprofit Explorer has IRS digitized Form 990 data for filings processed in 2012 and later'), (2) a pre-calculated cumulative total, or (3) any data for 2025. The claim correctly notes that Net Assets (~$16.5M in 2024) differs from cumulative funding raised, but the source cannot verify the $55M cumulative figure because it lacks pre-2012 data and does not provide a cumulative sum. The claim's methodology (summing 990 revenue) is sound in principle, but the source is incomplete for the full 2000-2025 period claimed.
