Nice visualization.<p>Something caught my eye looking at it &quot;Signpost reveals that the Wikimedia Foundation initially requested $6 million from the Knight Foundation&quot;.  That&#x27;s pretty common actually when dealing with private foundations.  They don&#x27;t have the budget for a big request this funding period, but are interested so they drop a smaller amount of funding.  This might lead to a bigger funding event or the interest of other foundations (a good thing).  This seems like it was characterized as bad, but it actually is normal and often very good.  I remember a couple projects that got a regional grant to give seed money which developed into a very large grant from a national foundation.  The angel investing pattern is not limited to startups.<p>Looking at what happened and given the demonizing of the Knight Foundation, I would imagine no private foundation will do a follow-up or even be inclined to give money for other projects.
