Yes and no.  The PSF's grants committee has a budget of USD$40K for
grants this year.  There's no rule about the number of grants that may
or may not be made.  Perhaps one grant of $40K will be made, or
perhaps 40K grants of $1 each, or, since the grants committee isn't
*required* to distribute the money this year, maybe they'll carry some
(or even all ...) over to next year's grant program.  In any case,
they can't grant more than $40K total this year, because that's all
the money they have this year.
