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.

| 700,000.00 | 1 | -- | https://ftxfuturefund.org/our-grants/?_funding_stream=ad-hoc | -- | Donation process: This grant is part of staff-led grantmaking by FTX Future Fund. https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/paMYXYFYbbjpdjgbt/future-fund-june-2022-update#Staff_led_grantmaking_in_more_detail (GW, IR) says: "Unlike the open call and regranting, these grants and investments are not a test of a particular potentially highly scalable funding model. These are projects we funded because we became aware of them and thought they were good ideas." Intended use of funds (category): Direct project expenses Intended use of funds: Grant to "support one year of operating expenses and salaries at the Legal Priorities Project, a longtermist legal research and field-building organization." Other notes: This is the second grant from FTX Future Fund to Legal Priorities Project; the preceding grant of $480,000 was in April 2022. Intended funding timeframe in months: 12. |

The Legal Priorities Project is administering the contest." Other notes: The Future Fund makes two other grants to support Legal Priorities Project around the same time, but these grants are staff-led. |
