Generally, foundations get from 10-100 times as many applications as they can make grants for. All applications have to be read, and there can be many gatekeepers and interim decision makers involved before the proposals make it to the governing boards, which may only meet on a quarterly basis. If you got your grant in less than six months, be glad.
