Source Check Verdicts
Last checked: 4/16/2026
The source confirms the grant name, grantee (Ethan Perez/Ethan Josean Perez), funder (Manifund), and the initial amount of $400,100. However, the date field in the record (2023-08-19) is not addressed in the source text provided. The source shows the grant was 'Fully funded' with $400,100 raised against a $200,000 goal, and includes a comment from over 2 years ago mentioning an additional $200,000 donation, suggesting the total funding eventually reached $600,100. The record's amount of $400,100 is accurate for the initial grant but incomplete if considering the full funding history. The date cannot be verified from this source.
