Your real odds
The foundation awards a limited number of grants each cycle, and some of those slots go to organizations it approaches on its own initiative, so the open pool is smaller than the total grant count suggests.
Grant amounts are not publicly disclosed, and the foundation does not renew grants, requiring a two-cycle waiting period before past grantees can reapply, which means every cycle draws a fresh wave of first-time applicants competing for the same limited pool.

Worth knowing
The foundation explicitly favors creative, original approaches and unique projects, so a description that reads like any other organization working in your space will not land, and the clearer you are about what specifically separates your work from others with similar missions, the better your application holds up.
