Your real odds
The funder does not publish application volumes or selection rates, so you are going in without a benchmark.
The Roddenberry Foundation is a well-known philanthropic name, which likely draws strong interest, and submission windows are irregular rather than annual so there is no predictable cycle to plan around.
What it takes

Prepare a clear pitch connecting your idea to bold, systems-level change3–5 hours
Submit application when the cycle is open1–2 hours
Worth knowing
The foundation explicitly values curiosity, cooperation, and bold ideas over incremental improvements, so frame your work as transformative and systems-aware rather than operational, or you will blend into the pile.
