Your real odds
The 10-day application window runs twice a year, which keeps the applicant pool smaller than most open-cycle programs.
No public data exists on winner or applicant counts, but the short window and values-alignment filter mean you are competing against a self-selected group rather than the general field.

Worth knowing
TRANSFORM publishes application tips on their site, and reading those before you write is the most direct way to match what reviewers are looking for, since grantees also receive a year-long mentorship program with pro bono branding, marketing, and coaching support that puts the real value well above the $1,000 grant itself.
