I totally get where you’re coming from and agree.
Our general level from which we ask for input from the community is when a grant exceeds the $30-40k range.
As far as I’ve gathered from my conversations with them, their intent is to have a first wave of about 3 grants with an average cost of around $15k. This would fall under the “normal” size of grants that we have autonomously given in the past.
There were also 2 polls in the previously linked post Amended- Forming The PT Marketing Working Group, which were positive on the idea of supporting MWG at all. We will take this into consideration when the grants come in.
If you are generally skeptical of the value of the MWG, I think that is valuable and can be discussed on that thread or in a new post.
