The way this Tech Crunch article is phrased, you'd might walk away thinking that the Ford Foundation's "large grant" made up a lion's share of the 's financial support.

But only $50k of the One Million Dollars in funding for the came from The Ford Foundation, back in February of this year.

The other $950,000?

@fromjason how do you know the $50k grant is connected to SWF?

It says Exchange Point Institute and there's very little information that I could find about what that is.
