YOUR REAL ODDS

This is a competitive grant with a panel review plus virtual interviews for finalists, suggesting a small number of awards.

Selection criteria weight your organization's history as a convener, cross-sector relationships, and staff capacity to execute — organizations without a documented track record coordinating multiple stakeholders will be at a disadvantage.

WHAT IT TAKES

  1. Review eligibility, FAQ, and application preview on the funder's site — 1–2 hours

  2. Prepare application with outcomes forecast and evidence of convener track record — 1–2 weeks

  3. Submit application by deadline — 1 hour

  4. Virtual interview (finalists only, notified early April) — 30–60 minutes

WORTH KNOWING

Award criteria heavily favor organizations with demonstrated cross-sector relationships and a history of convening — not just serving small businesses directly. Frame your application around your role as a connector and coordinator, not a direct service provider.
