What percentage of grants get funded?

The percentage of grants that get funded varies significantly depending on the type of grant, the funding source, the competition level, and the specific criteria set by the grantor. For government grants, the funding rate can be particularly competitive, with a small percentage of applications receiving funding due to high demand and limited resources. In some sectors or for certain programs, the funding rate might be as low as single digits, while others could be higher. Private foundations and corporate grants might have different funding rates based on their objectives and the volume of applications received. It’s important for applicants to conduct thorough research and tailor their proposals to the specific requirements and goals of the grant they are applying for, to increase their chances of being funded. However, exact percentages are difficult to generalize across all grant programs and sectors.
