Your real odds
Each cohort accepts 15–20 leaders from roughly 15 organizations out of an open applicant pool.
Spots are limited and selection is competitive, but the eligibility criteria are specific enough that a founder who clearly fits the profile is a serious candidate rather than one of thousands of generic applicants.

Worth knowing
The program culminates in a comprehensive 3-to-5 year Strategic Plan built with active facilitator support, and it includes mid-year and end-of-year grants plus direct introductions to funders, so the value runs well beyond a fellowship stipend.
