The claim requests verification of GiveWell's annual expenses for tax year 2011 (exact value: $1,029,435). The source provided is a ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer page for GiveWell (EIN 20-8625442) that displays Form 990 data from 2015 onwards. The earliest fiscal year shown in the source is 2015 (with expenses of $15,358,563). The source explicitly states 'Nonprofit Explorer has IRS digitized Form 990 data for filings processed in 2012 and later,' which means 2011 data would not be available in this particular source. Therefore, while the source is relevant to GiveWell and the correct EIN, it does not contain the specific 2011 data needed to verify the claim.
