Your real odds
No public approval rate exists, but CDFIs are structurally designed to fund businesses that traditional lenders turn away.
Their flexible lending model and technical assistance focus indicate they work with early-stage and harder-to-finance businesses, and the $8,000 grant is cohort-based, so spots per cycle are limited.

Worth knowing
The $8,000 Business Accounting and Legal Assistance Grant runs through a 6-week cohort program, so your application is only relevant when a cohort is open, and their free technical assistance team can help you get ready before you submit.
