These are still essentially correct.

The main change recently is that the funds aren't really delineated
now - the org gets $500 * N + $2200 + $500 paid without having to send

Note that if evaluations are late, then you don't get all the money.
So it's important to make sure the evaluations are on time, especially
if you've already committed that money.
