Chan Zuckerberg Initiative — Total Funding Raised: $45 billion
The claim specifies a total funding amount of $45 billion as of 2015-12 (December 2015). While the Wikipedia source confirms the 99% Facebook share pledge and the founding date (1 December 2015), it does not state the actual dollar value of that pledge at the time of founding. The source mentions various specific funding amounts for individual programs (e.g., $3 billion for science, $24 million for Andela, $30 million for Harvard), but does not provide a total funding figure or the valuation of the 99% share pledge as of December 2015. Without explicit confirmation of the $45 billion figure in the source, this claim cannot be verified.
