This week’s grant listings number: $2.5 billion.
Well, it’s relatively quiet on the federal front, and a ton of cash comes off the board in the next week. As I’ve written before, this is the season when federal grants officials are crashing to get competitions done and awards out the door by the end of the fiscal year on September 30, something made harder by the slower publication and tight competition periods of Trump II at places like Health and Human Services.
The good news is that we do have a new Army and USDA grants this week with non-insane deadlines. I’ve also added a new state rolling grant.

Blu Dot surpasses 2,000% ROAS with self-serve CTV ads
Home furniture brand Blu Dot blew up on CTV with help from Roku Ads Manager. Here’s how:
After a test campaign reached 211,000 households and achieved 1,010% ROAS, the brand went all in to promote its annual sales event. It removed age and income constraints to expand reach and shifted budget to custom audiences and retargeting, where intent was strongest.
The results speak for themselves. As Blu Dot increased their investment by 10x, ROAS jumped to 2,308% and more page-view conversions surpassed 50,000.
“For CTV campaigns, Roku has been a top performer,” said Claire Folkestad, Paid Media Strategist, Blu Dot. “Comping to our other platforms, we have seen really strong ROAS… and highly efficient CPMs, lower than any other CTV partner we've worked with.”
Using Roku Ads Manager, the campaign moved from a pilot to a permanent performance engine for the brand.
