First, I would like to thank our funders for their generous support of our work: Open Philanthropy, Jaan Tallinn (through the Survival and Flourishing Fund), [...] (through Effective Giving), [...]
Can you say more about [redacted]*? (I couldn’t find much information about that organization).
Also, this page on GovAI’s website, which deals with conflicts of interest, may be out of date; it says:
So far, we have received funding from Open Philanthropy, the Center for Emerging Risk Research, and Effective Altruism Funds (a project of the Centre for Effective Altruism). We do not currently accept funding from private companies.

Hi ofer, thanks for asking (and pointing out the page needs updating)! The original grant letter had omitted that the donor would prefer to remain anonymous, so we’ve removed their name from our annual review now. However, I can confirm that the donor is a not-for-profit organisation, with funding from outside the AI industry.
