This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2025. See the about page for more details. Also of interest: pageview data on analytics.vipulnaik.com, tutorial in README, request for feedback to EA Forum.

| Mulago Foundation | 2,900,000.00 | 6 | -- | https://mulagofoundation.org/Portfolio/one-acre-fund | -- | Donation date is not a single date but rather when funding began. Rainer fellow in 2006. Mulago’s reasons for investing: “Most of the world's poorest people are smallholder farmers. One Acre Fund gets them what they need -- training, seeds, fertilizer, credit and access to markets -- to make a better living from a small farm. Their bundled services have already reached a million people across four countries.”. |
