Undated 1 grant · $2.4M
| Date | Recipient | Amount | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET) | ~$2.4M | Cumulative giving 2019–2023 per CSET’s “CSET at Five” donor list ($1M–$6M tier). Undated: CSET gives one total for the five years and no yearly amounts, so this counts in the all-years view only. Amount is Trace’s estimate at the geometric mean of the tier; the range is the tier. source |
2024 1 grant · $713k
| Date | Recipient | Amount | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET) | ~$713k | Listed in CSET’s 2024 annual report donor tiers ($1M–$9,999,999). CSET's lists are cumulative, so the amount is the increase from the 2019–23 band ($1M–$6M, geometric midpoint ~$2.45M) to the 2024 band (geometric midpoint ~$3.16M): about $713k, likely $0–$9M. source |
