The source confirms Michelle Y. Simmons received a Feynman Prize for Experiment from the Foresight Institute. However, the source does not specify the year as 2015 (it was published in May 2016 but doesn't state the award year explicitly). The amount ($5000) is not mentioned in the source. The funder identifier 'NPPTvNqRXA' cannot be verified from the source text. The date field shows '2015-11' but the source only provides a publication date of May 24, 2016, making the award year unverifiable from this excerpt.
