What does the first-time % column mean?
For federal grants we look up the program behind the announcement on USAspending and compute the share of recent awards that went to organizations that had not won under that program before. A high number means newcomers win regularly; a low number means it mostly re-funds past grantees.
What is the largest underserved & rural grant available?
The largest award ceiling among the open opportunities listed here is $90K. Most grants make several awards, so typical award sizes are usually lower. Check each listing's award range and the program page's median.
