There are two donors which have donated $5,000 (just enough to be mentioned), three which have donated $10,000, one which has donated $15,000, and one which has donated $25,000, which suggests “people like donating such that their total is a multiple of $5,000” as a strong competing hypothesis.
Two attempts to do this are Quixey and Metamed. Quixey is notable for being the only for-profit institution to support MIRI; both groups’ individual employees have also donated notable sums.
Your Quixey link goes to metamed.
I grinned at how the two at the bottom seem to have donated just enough to be mentioned.
Quixey hasn’t been able to pump in as much as I expected though.
