Your real odds
With $10 million available and awards up to $1.5M each, the math works out to roughly seven or more grants at maximum size.
AEDC explicitly flags high demand, and prioritizes childhood food insecurity, unemployment, education, crime victim resources, housing, nutrition, and emergency services. Projects outside those focus areas face a harder path.
