Donor Database

The American Enterprise Institute has created a database called "Source" of foundations that donated to universities based on reports they filed with the IRS. There are all kinds of caveats attached to the database. For example, the reports were voluntary for a time and later became required.

The image accompanying this post shows the top donors to UCLA during 2009-2024, defined as those who provided at least 1% of total database-listed donations to UCLA during that period.

It is possible to use the Source database to isolate shorter periods and purposes of the grants.

You can find the database at:
