I have been investigating this, and though I'm not absolutely certain, right
now it appears that the government of Norway funded the construction of the
vault. However, it appears that the Global Crop Diversity Trust has assumed
the financial responsibility for keeping it running. Donors to the GCDT
include Bill and Melinda Gates, DuPont, Syngenta, The Rockerfeller
Foundation. The complete list of donors is supposed to be here:
