We have never approved a grant for an amount that is over the funding amount announced in the call for proposals. We strongly recommend that applicants do not request more than the specified amount. Our grants try to make the biggest impact possible with a limited budget and reviewers are coached to not have unrealistic expectations about the scope of the project. Applicants should reduce the scope of the project to fit the requested funding amount.
