These figures were gathered from annual Exxon and ExxonMobil documents, including their publicly distributed “Caring Neighbors” and “Worldwide Giving” reports and Form 990 tax forms as submitted to the IRS by the ExxonMobil Foundation. The collection of these documents started in the early 2000s via the Greenpeace ExxonSecrets project. The Brown University Climate Development Lab initiated a project in 2019 that helped fill in missing years and documents.
