Wow thi isn't my area but the visual is fantastic - what a great way to display grants, other similar orgs should consider something similar. I would say perhaps an order of magnitude even better than a list ;)
Reminds me of global burden of disease...(all my roads lead to public health haha)

Hmmm, this doesn't seem to include the breakdown by funder (Jaan Tallinn and Future of Life Institute) for each grant. I think I can reverse-engineer the amounts per funder by superimposing this and https://futureoflife.org/grant-program/2023-grants/ + https://jaan.online/philanthropy/donations.html but I'm wondering why the breakdown wasn't included in SFF's grant page?
