I was just about to respond that _substantial_ support by a non-profit best describes Travis Oliphant's many contributions through BYU.  I see now that BYU/SciPy/NumPy has been nominated ... excellent!

It might be appropriate for people from various constituencies to comment...

"Preference will be given to projects that benefit more and larger constituencies, demonstrate exceptional promise or performance, and meet particularly urgent needs."

item 4.

Here is the announcement:
