Typical grant
Median grant is $62, with the middle half between $25 and $160. The money is extremely top-heavy: about 349,000 recipients split $164.6M, while roughly two dozen national household names took checks from $30,000 to $2.3M. Repeat giving is near universal in form but trivial in amount, because each disbursement is an accumulation of many small consumer-directed donations rather than a renewed award.
