Your real odds
This is a continuous-intake program with a $5 million per-project cap, and competition is real because priority goes to projects with exceptional Ontario-wide benefit.
Most applicants receive grants or loans covering 10–20% of eligible costs, and the maximum 75% funding rate is reserved for projects demonstrating exceptional alignment with Ontario government priorities, a bar the funder describes as explicitly high.

Worth knowing
