Source Check Verdicts

partial85% confidence

Last checked: 4/9/2026

The source confirms the name, grantee (Fred Heiding), funder (Manifund), and amount ($4,500). However, the date in the record (2025-06-15) cannot be directly verified from the source text. The archive shows a Wayback Machine capture from 2026-02-17, and a comment indicates the donation was made '8 months ago' from that point, which would align approximately with June 2025. The source does not explicitly state the grant date as 2025-06-15, only that the donation was made at some point before February 2026. The amount matches exactly ($4,500), confirming the core financial claim, but the specific date is inferred rather than explicitly stated in the source.
