Field notes
The ledger organizes funding opportunities by applicant structure, beat, program type, deadline state, and personal application status. Its guidance distinguishes individuals, LLCs or corporations, 501(c)(3) organizations, and fiscal sponsors, including a stated typical fiscal-sponsorship fee of 3.5% to 7%. The page says each row records a verification date and is re-checked weekly, while missing award amounts remain marked “not published” instead of being guessed.
