From the transcript
It almost seems like they just shot for the moon and asked for as much as they could ask for if I look at the budget. I think so, and that's what we saw this year. Last year we didn't put a cap on for an application, but this year we did say cap is $50,000 for an application and we had a lot of them put in $50,000, which is not going to be possible. So what I would recommend— oh, go ahead, Claire. I was gonna say it may also indicate a lack of knowledge about what the budget requires to do a project like this sometimes.
