Jeff, you will be aware a lot of funders these days actually won't fund for stuff they consider is primarily the domain of central or local government...
Someone getting funding for coaching from some sports-focused agency does not necessarily imply a cancer crowd have missed out.
Many of those organisations who missed out in a particular funding period will have simply put in poor applications also.
However, if you look at the funding distribution of a trust like Trillion Trust over a long enough period of time you start to see a consistent picture of funding certain organisations and activities at the expense of others.
