It took me all of 3 minutes to establish that this is not a USAID grant form (as should be blindingly obvious), but a '990 Form' filled by organizations that are exempt from income tax. Shockingly, "Expenses" isn't what the organization is receiving from USAID. Also a clue was that the "PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE" at the top. Also a clue is that USADI spending $600 million out of its $40 billion on one organization, a university in a developed country, doesn't pass the smell test.

Also, the top part said RETURN OF ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAX. Of course, it was cropped out by someone who knew full well what this is, but who was trying to deceive you - not that this takes much effort.

Here it is from: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/980391928

Anyone who believed obvious nonsense from "theaustrianpainter" has no business calling other people NPCs.

Presumably the subject at hand is not the entire form, but line 8 which is revenue from grants and contribution at $581M for 2022, which is also shown on the site you linked. If you have a more detailed breakdown of where this money comes from I'd like to see it. A university receiving 0.1% of GDP in individual donations seems like a lot, but I don't really have a frame of reference.

Antonio talks a lot of shit, but he is right, there is no indication that funding came from USAID.

My gut feeling is that OFC it did, but I haven't been able to find any reliable source claiming that that is the case.

It's not the part they highlighted. Regardless, 'grants and contributions' has absolutely nothing to do with USAID or America. Any university will run mostly on that, at least outside the US where they are heavily subsidized.

The form claims 395m from government and 185m from 'all others'. I'll take cyanide if that is the American government rather than the Israeli government...

Well, you are right about that.
