Your real odds
This program is closed indefinitely, with the foundation citing uncertainty about its own funding and no plans to reopen the National Grassroots Organizing program.
When active, average grants were $20,000, with a ceiling of $30,000, but those numbers are beside the point right now.

Worth knowing
If the program does reopen, the foundation does not fund direct service, so your application needs to center collective action and organizing campaigns as the core strategy, not service delivery as a byproduct of it.
