Your real odds

Timing is your main variable here, because awards go first-come, first-served and delay is the only thing that disqualifies an otherwise eligible application.

No annual pool size or winner count is published, so you cannot calculate true odds, but individual businesses can receive up to $8,000 and community-owned businesses up to $16,000.

Worth knowing

The fund reimburses up to 50% of costs after you spend, so you need the cash flow to cover expenses upfront before you see a cent back.
