Your real odds
Ten businesses are selected each month from June through December 2026, putting roughly 70–80 grants on the table this cycle out of 145+ awarded this year.
If you are not selected in a given month, your application stays in the pool through December, so applying early gives you more review windows. Competition is national and open to all industries, which means volume is likely high.
