The record claims an amount of $4,025, which matches the 'raised' amount shown on the Manifund page ($4,025 raised). The name, grantee, and funder are all confirmed. However, the date field claims '2024-05-09', but the source text does not explicitly state this date anywhere. The Wayback Machine URL shows a capture date of 2025-10-11, and comments reference 'about 1 year ago' and 'over 1 year ago', suggesting the grant was made around 2023-2024, but the specific date of 2024-05-09 is not verifiable from the provided source text. The amount is confirmed, but the date cannot be verified from this excerpt.
