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 source provides detailed Form 990 data for fiscal years 2012–2024, showing annual contributions and net assets, but does NOT provide a cumulative total or sum across all years. The source explicitly states Net Assets as of 2024 = $15.2M (not $55M), and correctly notes this reflects current holdings, not cumulative funding. To verify the $55M claim would require summing all annual contributions across 2000–2025 from the actual 990 filings, which the source excerpt does not do. The claim's methodology (summing 990 revenue filings) is sound in principle, but the source does not present this aggregated figure, making the specific $55M value unverifiable from this excerpt.
