Is your grant program looking for large numbers of individuals served, or would a smaller, realistic target number served be considered a strong model with scalable potential? What is an appropriate ratio of # of people served versus the amount requested? 

We do not state a required minimum or maximum number of individuals served, but your model’s narrative responses, budget and work plan should support your decision on deliverables. The dollar value of the funding requested must appropriately reflect the number of individuals to be assisted. There is no definitive answer telling what an appropriate ratio of individuals served to the amount of funding requested. Each proposed model has a different value per type of assistance offered. Applicants will need to use their best judgement to determine what is reasonable.
