Thanks for compiling this. I have asked for access to the spreadsheet. Amongst others I like to check how much of SFF funding is EA community building vs funding AI and ex-risk research. Also there is a lot of funding from Jane Street donors in addition in Matt Wage just want to make sure they are counted. These are particularly significant in the earlier period.
Update: I’m reaching out to a few people to add in more individual donor data and will be updating the post once i get those numbers. I expect this would 5-10x the numbers for 2012-2016 for individual donors depending on how I count it, which is a significant increase.
I’ll comment here when I’ve made updates to the charts.
Making the sheet public now! Thanks for checking that Luke.
Feel free to drop comments if you disagree with my categorization—I did it somewhat quickly and probably made a few calls that are debatable.
Regarding individual donors, I have only counted data from folks who were in the OpenBook (I actually don’t think Matt is in there, I just listed him in the top section because he’s been public about being an earning-to-giver. If you are able to share that data I’d love to add it in!

You may find this spreadsheet useful for that type of information
This looks useful, thanks!
This post has now been updated with new numbers. The summary of changes are detailed in this follow-up post.
Great use of green to mark the errata at top of post, by the way!
