Award Statistics for Fiscal Year 2011
We are often asked how many applications we receive, how many are approved, and what the awards were for. So, to supplement Marie's monthly award announcements, I thought I'd provide some statistics on grants made through our Responsive Grants and Grassroots Grants programs in MMT's most recent fiscal year (April 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011).
