Await award decision (mid-month following quarter close)
Breva announces one winner per quarter. Award disbursement follows announcement by approximately mid-month.
Only one winner per quarter — this is extremely competitive. Your edge: quantify community impact with numbers (e.g., '12 jobs created, 340 LMI residents served monthly'). LMI census tract location is a significant differentiator. Check FFIEC.gov census tract locator before applying.
