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 2024. 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.

| Donor | Amount (current USD) | Amount rank (out of 2) | Donation date | Cause area | URL | Influencer | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open Philanthropy | 500,000.00 | 1 | Land use reform | https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/land-use-reform/yimby-law-general-support-october-2020 | Zachary Robinson Alexander Berger | Intended use of funds (category): Organizational general support Intended use of funds: Grant "for general support. YIMBY Law is a new organization that advocates for more available and affordable housing in California and pursues litigation to ensure compliance with state housing laws." Donor reason for donating at this time (rather than earlier or later): The grant is made about nine months after the first grant to the grantee, which was a founding grant. The timeframe of the original grant was not specified, but the amount ($100,000) suggests a timeframe of under a year, so the timing of this new grant is likely determined by the previous grant running out. Intended funding timeframe in months: 24 Other notes: Affected countries: United States; affected states: California. |

| Open Philanthropy | 100,000.00 | 2 | Land use reform | https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/land-use-reform/yimby-law-general-support | Alexander Berger | Intended use of funds (category): Organizational general support Intended use of funds: Grant "for general support. YIMBY Law is a new organization that advocates for more available and affordable housing in California and pursues litigation to ensure compliance with state housing laws." Donor reason for selecting the donee: The grant page says: "[grantee's] founder, Sonja Trauss, pursued a similar strategy as part of her previous work at the California Renters Legal Advocacy and Education Fund [CaRLA]." Open Philanthropy had previously made grants to CaRLA, the latest being https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/land-use-reform/california-renters-legal-advocacy-and-education-fund-general-support-2019 (2019-02), so this grant was likely for similar reasons and based on the outcomes of that grant. Donor reason for donating at this time (rather than earlier or later): The grant page calls the grantee a "new organization" and its founder appears to have recently left California Renters Legal Advocacy and Education Fund, another organization previously funded by Open Phil. The timing is likely explained by it being an initial/founding grant. Donor retrospective of the donation: The followup two-year $500,000 grant https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/land-use-reform/yimby-law-general-support-october-2020 (2020-10) suggests continued satisfaction with the grantee. Other notes: Affected countries: United States; affected states: California. |
