ELL: ELF funding

[whalen at LENNY.HASKINS.YALE.EDU]

  Marion,
  In response to your optimistic query, the $20,000 for our twelve
grants was for all of them together.  Even $20,000 apiece is not
enough.  (Just to give some perspective, the Wycliffe Bible
Translation Society was the 72nd largest nonprofit in the US last
year, clocking in at just over $100,000,000 in receipts.  Yes, that's
one hundred million dollars in one year.)
  Best, Doug Whalen DhW
