The Donations List Website (DLW) is an open-source database maintained by Vipul Naik that aggregates publicly disclosed donation data from donors and foundations active in the effective altruism, rationality, and AI safety communities. It allows users to search and filter donations by donor, recipient organization, cause area, influencer, year, and country. The database spans donations from 1969 onward, with particular depth in the EA and AI safety space, and is built on a CC0-licensed GitHub repository with PHP and Python code. Data entry has been primarily performed by Issa Rice through contract work funded by Vipul Naik.

Theory of Change
By aggregating publicly available donation data into a single, searchable, and filterable database, the Donations List Website aims to increase transparency about philanthropic flows in the effective altruism ecosystem. Greater transparency about who funds what, and how funding patterns have shifted over time, helps donors, researchers, and grantmakers make more informed decisions. Understanding historical funding patterns can reveal gaps, signal what types of projects attract support, and help new projects understand how similar work has been funded. Increased information about the EA funding landscape also supports accountability and reduces duplicated effort.
