Your real odds
DRK is a well-known foundation with a global portfolio, so the open rolling window does not make this easy to win.
Applications are accepted year-round, which removes timing pressure, but selectivity runs high given the grant size and DRK's reputation. If you are declined, you can reapply up to twice, with at least one year between each attempt.

Worth knowing
DRK explicitly encourages you to submit existing materials rather than creating new ones, so a pitch deck or business plan you already have is sufficient. The application must go through the online form, not email.
