The four-line truth

Lines are separate lifecycle measures and are never summed: committed = donor-published lifetime award totals; awaiting = latest-FY statutory 'approved for future payment' balance; deployed = disclosed paid amounts (withheld-amount gifts counted separately). Absence of events is absence of loaded evidence, not zero giving.

US private foundations must name material grantees on Form 990-PF, so recipient-level detail here is compelled, not volunteered.

Voluntary points reward disclosure the donor chose — publishing an open grants database, and naming recipients. Compelled points reflect how completely and how currently their statutory filings land. The split exists because disclosure regimes differ by jurisdiction: a high compelled score is law-abiding, not generous, and a low one may reflect a rule the donor did not write.
