Funding posture

Mid-range ceiling, still NOFO-silent

The Assistance Listing advertises a mid-range award band ($50,000 to $750,000) for Rural Community Development Initiative, but the indexed Grants.gov book is empty for this CFDA. Dollar capacity exists on paper; competitive announcements for this number are not currently in the crawl.
