While FLI has only received $11.2 million to grant in 2015-16, they could easily have granted more than twice that much, had they received the money.
Where are you getting this? FLI had $5 million in grant money; Open Phil believed there were $6 million of grants worth making; so Open Phil granted an additional $1 million. If Open Phil believed there were more grants worth making, it would have given more money to FLI.
Oh. I intended to write that, other things being equal, FLI will have made $11 million worth of grants to AI safety through the end of 2016. Apparently, that was ambiguous. I’ll clear that up in the OP.

I was under the impression Open Phil made the grants through FLI, rather than directly. I appear mistaken. Thanks for flagging. I’ll fix the OP.
No, Open Phil did make grants through FLI. But FLI made a total of $6 million in grants, not $11 million.
