I'm not sure why you think you need to be that big to get portable IP
space. Policy 2002-3 allows for the issuance of a /22 to any organization
which can show a need and the ability to utilize at least 50% of a /22
with multihoming. An ASN can be obtained pretty easily if you intend
to multihome. About the only thing that might stand in the way of
a small organization is the up front cost, but, even that is less than
$2000.
