What comparable notices state
26 recordsStated ceilings on open records in the same industry.
Among open records stored under Disadvantaged Communities, 26 of 52 state an award ceiling. Those that do run:
- 25th percentile$775,000
- Median$2,000,000
- 75th percentile$4,223,208
A statistical estimate, not a prediction. It describes what a set of notices has published in this catalogue on the day you read it, and says nothing about what this programme will award. Records stating no ceiling are excluded rather than counted as zero, and the programme pool — what a funder has across every applicant — is a different column and is never mixed in.
