Grant: Support for SAELens and other Decode Research Projects (Manifund → David Chanin)
The source confirms the grant name, amount ($6,800), and grantee (David Chanin). However, the funder is identified as 'Neel Nanda' (who donated $6,800 six months ago), not 'Manifund' as claimed. While the page is hosted on Manifund.org, Manifund appears to be the platform/intermediary, not the actual funder. The date cannot be verified from the source text—the archive timestamp is 2026-01-28, but the donation comment says 'six months ago' which is relative and unverifiable. The record claims the funder is 'Manifund' but the source clearly identifies 'Neel Nanda' as the donor/funder.
