The source confirms the grant name, grantee (Ethan Josean Perez), and funder (Manifund). The amount of $400,100 is confirmed as the 'raised' amount. However, the source does not explicitly state a grant date of 2023-08-19. The source shows the grant is 'Fully funded and not currently accepting donations' and mentions a comment from Leopold Aschenbrenner showing '$400,000 donated', which is approximately consistent with the $400,100 figure (within 0.025% difference, likely a rounding variation). The date cannot be verified from the provided source text.
