Al's Comment:
What a horrible start to the fundraising year! Last year at this time we gave out 9 grants for $495,000. This year only gave out 2 grants for $59,432 with another $25-50k possibly going to be awarded soon.
However, these are good projects. unfortunately we had to reject a few other good projects. Hopefully things will get back to normal later this year.
