The description contains conflicting information: the initial paragraph states "AFCP Large Grants range from a floor of $200,000 to a maximum of $800,000 per project," but ineligible activities section x) states "Individual projects costing less than US $10,000 or more than $200,000." The labelled fields show Award ceiling: 800,000 and Award floor: 200,000. However, the ineligible activities provision explicitly bars projects under $10,000 or over $200,000, which appears to apply to the Small Grants Competition mentioned in the title.
