The largest disclosed grant in this set is $51M for Wichita State University on 2022-09-02, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts (e.g., Philadelphia Works at $23M on 2022-08-15 and Center for Caregiver Advancement at $14M on 2022-09-20). At the other end of the disclosed spectrum, the smallest disclosed amounts are $10K (Zoog on 2022-08-09 and CAVU’s list position is $50K, not $10K), while several entries remain undisclosed (e.g., National Digital Equity Center on 2022-09-07, plus multiple 2022-07-27 rounds).
Geographically, the list is U.S.-heavy but not exclusively: Toronto appears twice (Seneca College on 2022-10-26 at $2M; NPower Canada on 2022-03-23 at $300K; Schoolio on 2022-03-22 at $100K), while Israel (Zoog, Tel Aviv, 2022-08-09, $10K) and Romania (VoxiKids, 2021-12-17, $100K) also show up. Temporally, rounds span 2021-11-21 (CAVU at $50K) to 2022-10-26 (Seneca College at $2M), with multiple concentration points around mid-September 2022 (three disclosed/dated entries on 2022-09-20 and adjacent days like 2022-09-07 and 2022-09-09).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed grant is the outlier, and how does it compare to the next-largest disclosed rounds?
Wichita State University’s $51M grant on 2022-09-02 is the clear outlier; the next-largest disclosed amounts are $23M (Philadelphia Works on 2022-08-15) and $14M (Center for Caregiver Advancement on 2022-09-20). Several other disclosed entries fall below $10M, such as RTI International’s $4M on 2022-09-09 and Rocky Mountain Institute’s $4M on 2022-03-14.
How many of these entries have undisclosed amounts, and do they cluster in any particular week?
There are 5 entries with “undisclosed” amounts: National Digital Equity Center (2022-09-07), Junior Medical Academy (2022-07-27), JOURNI (2022-07-27), Safe Alternative Foundation For Education (2022-07-27), and Tech Kids Unlimited (2022-07-27). Four of those undisclosed entries share the same date (2022-07-27), creating a distinct mid-summer cluster.
What does the size distribution look like at the low end for disclosed amounts?
The smallest disclosed amounts shown are $10K, as with Zoog on 2022-08-09. That contrasts with the lowest disclosed five-figure band where multiple entries sit at $50K–$100K (e.g., Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship at $60K on 2022-09-20 and Essential Personnel at $50K on 2022-05-12).
Are any cities repeated enough to suggest a geographic cluster in this list?
Toronto is the most visible repeated city, appearing with Seneca College (2022-10-26, $2M), NPower Canada (2022-03-23, $300K), and Schoolio (2022-03-22, $100K). Beyond Toronto, there are no other clearly repeated cities with the same density as these three entries.
When do the rounds concentrate most in time within the shown window?
The shown rounds run from 2021-11-21 (CAVU, $50K) to 2022-10-26 (Seneca College, $2M). Within that, mid-to-late September 2022 stands out: multiple dated entries cluster around 2022-09-20 (Center for Caregiver Advancement at $14M and NFTE at $60K on 2022-09-20, plus University of Arkansas at $10M also listed on 2022-09-20), with nearby activity on 2022-09-12 ($600K Science Center) and 2022-09-09 ($4M RTI International).
Does the list show a stage/segment mix beyond the grant label, or is it uniformly categorized?
Every row shown is labeled “Grant” under the round type, including very large disclosed grants like Wichita State University ($51M on 2022-09-02) and smaller disclosed grants like Zoog ($10K on 2022-08-09). The only variation in recorded amounts is “undisclosed” versus a disclosed dollar figure (e.g., National Digital Equity Center on 2022-09-07 is undisclosed).
