YOUR REAL ODDS

Grant winners are announced each year in late March, but the number of winners per cycle is not publicly specified, so exact odds are unknown.

  2. Prepare application materials showing your business and demonstrated funding need — Several hours to a few days

  3. Submit application during the open window (historically late January through late February) — 1 hour
