Funding Round: BERI General Support 2018 (Center for Applied Rationality)

NoteThe claim states that BERI General Support 2018 raised $1,100,000 (1.1 million). However, the source explicitly states that 'Half this sum [of $2.2 million total revenue] came in the form of general support from BERI,' which equals $1.1 million. The source then clarifies that '$800k of which was granted to fund the down payment on our purchase of a permanent venue in Bodega Bay.' This means the total BERI general support was $1.1 million, but only $800k was for the venue purchase. The remaining $300k ($1.1M - $800k) was general support. The claim's figure of $1,100,000 is correct for total BERI general support in 2018, but the source's phrasing suggests the $1.1M total included both general support and the venue-specific grant. The exact breakdown is: $1.1M total from BERI, of which $800k was earmarked for venue. The claim of $1,100,000 matches the source's stated half of $2.2M, so the amount is confirmed. However, re-reading more carefully: the source says 'Half this sum came in the form of general support from BERI' — this phrasing indicates the entire $1.1M is characterized as 'general support from BERI,' with $800k of it being used for the venue. The claim is therefore confirmed, not contradicted.
