Donors
The list below is designed for maximum transparency regarding the nature of BERI’s financial supporters, rather than maximum technical accuracy. As such, this list does not always indicate the full corporate name of the legal donor. Instead, this list may use the colloquial name of a corporation, the name of a DAF advisor, or the name of the controlling donor to a private foundation. Please email contact@existence.org with any questions.
By default, BERI does not publish donor information. Each individual on the list has given their explicit permission for BERI to publish this information. Donors who have not given permission are summed into the “all others…” lines for each year. Many donors were not contacted or did not respond. Some donors simply prefer privacy. BERI respects the right of each of our donors to make their own decisions in this regard.
