Your real odds
The page names just three finalists, so the $5,000 grant goes to a very small number of certified suppliers.
Grant awards are explicitly reserved for select certified suppliers, and the broader program benefits like education modules and funder matchmaking appear to reach more participants than the grant itself.
What it takes
Verify certification, HQ, model, and revenue1 to 2 hrs
Submit application via the portal1 to 3 hrs
Complete modules and attend matchmaking sessions
Worth knowing
The matchmaking with mission-driven VCs, CDFIs, and alternative lenders is available beyond the grant winners, so the program has real value for you even if you do not receive the $5,000.
