Scope & limitations

  • The source is the grantor's reported grant; no invoice, bank transfer, executed agreement or recipient-side confirmation of this exact payment was acquired.
  • The reported purpose does not establish an earmark for the 2026 PauseAI recommendation or Sanders–Casar proposal. Do not trace these historical funds to either activity without a specific agreement or accounting record.
  • This is an institutional grant to FLI, not a Sanders campaign receipt, personal payment or evidence that the grantor backed Sanders.
  • No full incoming-funder universe or complete amendment/refund history was searched. This finite set is not FLI's total funding.
  • SVCF is the reporting charity. Neither its name nor this row identifies the ultimate donor or a technology-company source. FLI separately describes a historical SVCF donor-advised grantmaking arrangement, but this row does not identify a particular donor-advised account or prove a return of FLI's own funds.
