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: http://www.croptrust.org/documents/web/Funding%20Status%2008-02-08.pdf .

Where did you find the info indicating Monsanto is part of the Doomsday
Vault? What I read indicates it was the Norwegian government putting up the
funding.

Has anyone taken note on national t.v. about the doomsday vault in Norway.
What an amazing thing.  Seed Savers on steroids.  Hope Monsanto  can't get
the seeds stored there.
