 '''Q. How much money is CELF willing to spend on these projects?'''<br>
-'''A.''' The exact amount shall remain a mystery.  However, this year CELF plans to budget a little more than $200,000 for contract work of this nature.  This is enough to push some interesting projects forward, that make a real difference over time.
+'''A.''' The exact amount shall remain a mystery.  Historically our budget has been around $100,000, and we usually focus on projects in the $10K to $20k range.  However, we have exceptions both above and below this amount.  The exact amount of funding will depend a great deal on the projects that are proposed.
