Found: Founded on March 19, 2014

Note: The claim states 18F's founded date as 2014-03 (March 2014), which is partially correct in terms of the month and year. However, the source provides a specific date: March 19, 2014. The claim uses only month-year format (2014-03) while the source specifies the exact day (March 19, 2014). While the month and year align, the claim is incomplete/imprecise compared to the source's more specific information. However, since 2014-03 does technically fall within the correct month when March 19, 2014 occurred, this is more accurately a 'partial' confirmation rather than a contradiction. The claim's format (YYYY-MM) captures the correct month and year, just not the specific day provided by the source.
