NoteThe source confirms the grant name, grantee (Lucy Farnik), funder (Manifund), and that it is a grant. However, the amount field shows a discrepancy: the source page displays '$1,590 raised' but the visible donations from Austin Chen ($1,000) and Anton Makiievskyi ($1,000) total $2,000. The date field (2023-07-10) cannot be verified from the source text provided, which shows a 2026 Wayback Machine capture date but no original grant creation date. The record is partially confirmed but incomplete regarding the exact amount and missing date verification.
