Apache accepts anything that companies donate. (They say they don't, but it's hard to find anything they've rejected.)

That's not quite the right emphasis.

Apache is happy to provide a home for any community that is willing to adhere to our governance rules and traditions. Competing projects are OK.

Projects are almost never rejected because preparing a proposal for incubation is rigorous and many projects who would be a poor fit self-select out.

Source: former VP Apache Incubator, who has both helped prepare successful proposals and privately counseled projects who decided not to come to Apache.
