No amount, giving rate, or global position is inferred from this record. Missing ranked data means the publication gates have not been met; it does not mean zero giving.
What is currently resolved.
Map placement uses confirmed citizenship. It is a navigation aid, not a claim about where philanthropic money originates or lands.

Where the lead begins.
The configuration and source registration are validated during the pipeline run. That does not mean every external page publishes new data nightly.
Reviewed organisational links.
A vehicle link establishes an entity relationship only. The vehicle's spending is not automatically attributed to this person.
| Vehicle | Registry / ID | Reviewed relationship | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| THE PETERFFY FOUNDATION INC | US-EIN472351448 | the FY2024 Form 990-PF exact-matches the EIN and current children-led governance; first-party records say Thomas established the Foundation and its FY2020 Schedule B names him directly, while earlier contribution-bearing filings name Pillango Investments LLC and no reviewed source allocates the commingled pool's current outflows to Thomas | Verify → |
| BALANCE FOR FREEDOM INC | US-EIN810899116 | an SEC filing identifies the private foundation as established by Thomas; the FY2024 Form 990-PF exact-matches the EIN and names him chairman and CEO, while reviewed contribution-bearing returns name him directly; filed grants remain vehicle-level until the complete current series and recipient independence pass review | Verify → |
What must happen before ranking.
The leaderboard ranks verified payments to independent recipients within the common FY2020–FY2024 score window. Research prominence alone cannot alter it.
- 01
Resolve attribution. Confirm the person, payer, vehicles, and related-party boundary.
- 02
Acquire reusable evidence. Register access, rights, cadence, stable keys, and immutable source bytes.
- 03
Classify capital state. Keep pledges, controlled transfers, future balances, and paid external grants separate.
- 04
Reconcile the window. Build recipient-level or defensible aggregate events across the required fiscal years.
- 05
Validate any giving rate. Use only an approved, dated, individual wealth snapshot with source rights.
