| Transfers into own or family foundations Parked · not counted | $368 M |
| Open pledges and commitments Promised · not counted | $8.6 B |
Transfers into a person's own foundation or a donor-advised fund are parked, not given: only grants paid out to charities count. Political gifts are outside what this site measures. How giving types work
$3.4 B of the given total (95%, 61 gifts) went to recipients the filings do not name. They are counted as given because no match was found in the person's own foundations' filings.
