About 15 years ago, I was asked to help start a local educational foundation. I got a new insight into how grants and funding organizations function from a completely different perspective. And this was a small local foundation with hundreds of thousands of dollars and a dozen applicants a year mind you. It wasn't a foundation consisting of millions of dollars and hundreds of applicants. I had no time back then because I was a new father and started a new job, so I wasn't able to continue with the foundation. I cannot even begin to image the amount of time and effort, and headaches that it takes to run these types of organizations. Are they perfect? Absolutely not because nothing is perfect. But telling a developer to not build or starve because you don't like how something was handled in a near impossible task is something I would never do. I'll let them make their own decisions with all of the information that I have available.
