Making my point for me. If filling out a form is too much to ask to be given _free money_ then I don't even know what to say to you. But here are some ideas:

- If you're already getting all that you need done without the grant, then great! More money for other people who actually need it.
- If your use of time is so extraordinarily productive that any second you spend seeking funding is a actually counterproductive (because you have better odds of success if your time is spent on the work than on fundraising), then great! You'll be successful with your current path and more free money for other people!
- If you simply don't value the grant money enough to devote a few minutes to filling out a form, then great! You've made up your mind about opting out. More money for those who are interested.
- If you can't position your project in such a way that it reads as a good fit for the form, then perhaps this is the wrong venue for you. More money for those who are appropriate.
- If you are just too incompetent to fill out a basic application (yet are somehow able to build an impressive project...?), then the money is probably better spent on someone more competent.
- If you think free money and fundraising itself is a waste of time... Well then I wish you luck in the market of limited resources and high competition with your unique perspective.

This feels like a pretty exhaustive list to me... But I'm not you. Let me know what I missed that better explains your position.
