Your real odds
No public approval rate exists, but CDFI lenders are structurally more flexible than banks for underserved borrowers.
$40 million deployed over 20 years points to a lender that moves steadily and selectively, and because applications are rolling you are not racing a deadline, though your project and financials still have to hold up.

Worth knowing
