Award magnitudes varied substantially: Formula Grants ranged from zero dollars to over $500 thousand, while Project Grants supporting alternative financing programs ranged from approximately $21 thousand to $999 thousand. Representative 2014 awards include Formula Grant H224A150021 for $502 thousand, Formula Grant H224A150005 for $472.5 thousand, and Project Grant H224D140012 supporting an alternative financing program at $999.3 thousand.
