119 unique recipients in the sample; 23 repeat winners.
range $1k – $1,000M
Ask-amount guidance
Applicants here typically receive far less than the advertised ceiling: the program median is $242k against a $7M ceiling (3%). Budgets far above the median need a story; budgets far below leave money on the table.
