Across these 22 most-recent grant-backed food and beverage deals, the largest disclosed round is Particles for Humanity at $4M (2022-01-20). That $4M figure dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts—Yolélé’s $2M (2022-01-12) and Otrafy’s $1M (2022-10-20)—while the disclosed rounds below $400K cluster heavily between $10K and $300K.
The list is also time-clustered: 9 of the 22 entries closed between 2022-08-01 and 2022-08-25, with multiple same-day closures (two entries on 2022-08-01; several on 2022-07-14). Geography is distributed rather than hub-concentrated—no single city repeats across rows—while “undisclosed” funding shows up 5 times (e.g., GO DESi on 2022-09-07; ZeroIN on 2022-08-14; three separate entries on 2022-07-14). The displayed window runs from 2022-10-20 (most recent: Otrafy) back to 2022-01-12 (oldest relevant dates: Yolélé and Particles for Humanity).

Is there a tight date cluster among these food and beverage grants?

Five of 22 entries are labeled “undisclosed” (e.g., GO DESi on 2022-09-07; ZeroIN on 2022-08-14; and three different food bank grants on 2022-07-14: The Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, and Montgomery County Food Bank).
Are any cities or geographies over-represented across these 22 rows?
No single city repeats across the entries shown; the geography appears dispersed across locations like Saint Paul (Otrafy, 2022-10-20), Providence (Southside Community Land Trust, 2022-08-25), and London (Kitche, 2021-08-05).
