CEA was set up before there was an EA movement (the term “effective altruism” was invented while setting up CEA to support GWWC/80,000 Hours).
I don’t think this changes the overall picture, but the EA movement existed before it had a name. The movement coalesced from a bunch of related ideas and projects, but I would say it existed before the legal incorporation of CEA. For example, GiveWell was started in 2007, GWWC in 2009, and 80k in early 2011.

Thanks Jeff. Added “much of” to be more precise.
