I agree that teams should work to have more funds than that, but for those that can't manage to do so, waiting to hear on grant money is a really big deal.

We generally pay $14k, which is a giant stack of cash.
$5k is a decent stack of cash, and is nothing to fundraise for a motivated group with months to do it in.
I fail to see how any of this means it's hypocritical to criticize someone for complaining about free money while also criticizing an organization we pay a good deal to.
