Your real odds
No acceptance rate is published, and this is a community lender built to increase access rather than a competitive grant program.
As a CDFI, the bar is access-focused rather than merit-competitive, but eligibility is verified in person and loan amounts are not specified upfront.

Worth knowing
Lending Link pairs loans with financial coaching, so being open to that component is likely part of the process, and treating it as an asset rather than a formality works in your favor.
