No. In our case there were lots of different reasons, but I understand very well how it is complicated to get big cheques out. I understand that, but I have to say that small organizations and big organizations all over sometimes close. I think it's important to say that it's almost as if the funders in this case prepare you for a lower level of expectation. When we submit a project in October--and we're going to be putting them in again in October--what the funder says to us is that we shouldn't even expect to get the money before August. So you don't prepare a project in the summer, because they say we're not going to get our money anyway, so the money won't get out. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, in a way, because you know you're not going to get the money, and then you lay people off during the summer because you know there's not going to be an activity.
