Your real odds
Three rounds run per year with grants up to $15,000, and you need prior approval before you can even apply, with one grant allowed per calendar year.
The pre-approval step filters the field before the formal process begins, so your pitch to the funder happens earlier than you might expect. If you have received funding three consecutive years, you may be asked to sit out a cycle.

Worth knowing
The foundation explicitly prefers national programs that bring their work to the Intermountain West, so if your project has national scope, frame the application around how it directly serves Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, or Montana.
