The record claims the funder is 'Manifund', but the source clearly states the grant is from 'ACX Grants 2025'. While the project is hosted on Manifund's platform, the actual funder is ACX Grants. The amount ($35,000), grantee (Daniel Elton), and project name are all confirmed. However, the specific date of 2025-10-29 cannot be verified from the source text provided—the source shows a Wayback Machine capture date of 2026-02-09 and mentions 'Jan FEB Mar' and '2025 2026 2027' but does not explicitly state October 29, 2025 as the grant date. The funder discrepancy is a material error.
