TED Foundation Inc 990-PF TY2024 (IRS e-file XML)

Two paid grants only; no METR, RAND or Canary.

METR, F (for): TED Foundation's 990-PFs show no grant to METR, RAND, or Canary in TY2021-2024, and the Audacious Project's own FAQ says TED itself does not fund grantees; the only filed Canary payments are Valhalla ($10M) and High Tide ($333,334) paying RAND directly in TY2024, with no METR line. METR's approximately $17M Audacious share is therefore confirmed at the RAND/Canary level but not, in any filing checked, at the METR level.
