Based on data from the decennial census, each state is allocated a proportion of the 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives, though regardless of population, each state is guaranteed a minimum of one seat. The Electoral College is the body that, every four years, elects the President and Vice President of the United States. Each state's representation in the Electoral College is equal to that state's total number of members in both houses of the United States Congress. By the Twenty-third Amendment to the United States Constitution, the District of Columbia, which lies outside of the jurisdiction of any state, is granted as many votes in the Electoral College as is given the state with the lowest representation in that body. Thus the total representation of the College is 538 members (equal to 100 United States Senators plus 435 United States House of Representatives, plus 3 members for the District of Columbia). The 11 most populous states have a majority of the electoral college votes, enough to elect the President.

With this Census information you could estimate what the cost could occur in a particular state per database of consumer's being served knowing that not all the population will be affected can only give you an approximation. Overhead cost versus operational cost and serving the consumer's support makes you realize that with some values the foundation must limit its cost factors, overall regional support centers would encourage togetherness and support for consumer particulars. There will be a few days which hardship could actually limit the support if there were a large amount of Grants to process per state but that is what Regional Centers are suppose to fundamentally watch over so the assets can balance in due time. Consumer's are encouraged to provide a donation with each Grant they are considering so to befray overhead costs while some consumer's may donate simply because they want to and there is nothing wrong with donating to this foundation project to see that it can be successful. Success is all the more reason why everyone should consider their contribution making it all possible.
