    Verification methodology

    Each grant entry is manually reviewed against its official source page. We check eligibility criteria, deadline status, funding amounts, and program activity. Grants show a green "Verified" badge when checked within 30 days, amber "Under Review" within 90 days, and red "Stale" when overdue. Stale grants are hidden by default and flagged for immediate review. Have a correction? Contact us.
