Your real odds
The foundation has granted nearly $400 million since 2015, and grantees tend to be established institutions with track records, so early-stage organizations face a real climb.
Spotlight grantees include large systems like the Nevada System of Higher Education, which signals preference for organizations with demonstrated scale or research capacity, and grant amounts vary widely without public specification.

Worth knowing
