Your real odds
SCF has made a small number of investments ranging from $37,000 to $350,000 since 2011, so the selection process is selective and relationship-driven.
The portfolio page lists only a handful of named investments across more than a decade, and the mission focus narrows the field further without reducing competition for the deals that do get made.

Worth knowing
SCF specifically values innovative models addressing poverty, so if you are piloting a novel financial inclusion approach, you are better positioned than an established player running a proven program.
