Your real odds
In 2026, 136 projects were funded and $625,000 was distributed, so this is a multi-award pool, not a single-winner competition.
Grants are sized at $5,000 or $7,500, and the council funded over a hundred projects in a single cycle, which means your odds depend less on beating everyone else and more on meeting the bar they've set.
