Your real odds
Two grants are awarded per year, and the program has maintained that pace since 1995, so the pool is always competing for the same two spots.
Past winners come from research universities across the US and internationally, and the program has distributed over $1 million total across its history, which tells you the funder is consistent but not expansive.

Worth knowing
One of the two awards, the Wayne F. Placek Grant in Memorial of John Peterson, is reserved for scholars of color researching Black LGBTQIA+ communities, so if that describes you, you are competing in a separate and narrower pool than the general applicants.
