Alabama ABC Trust Efficiency Forward Grants — 2026
The Alabama Business Charitable Trust's Efficiency Forward Grants provide up to $10,000 to eligible health and human services nonprofits for energy-efficiency upgrades at client-service facilities in most of Alabama. The current official schedule lists October 28 but does not attach a year, exact closing time, or time zone, so current-cycle timing remains under source-control review.
FundingUp to $10,000 for qualifying energy-efficiency/weatherization upgrades at eligible health and human services nonprofit client-service facilities.
DeadlineThe current official Efficiency Forward page lists October 28 among its application dates but does not attach a year, exact closing time, or time zone. Do not infer October 28, 2026 as the controlling deadline without confirmation from ABC Trust.

Required next actionConfirm the current application cycle year, deadline time and time zone directly from ABC Trust before publication or any applicant outreach. Then confirm 501(c)(3) status, health and human services mission, eligible county, qualifying building ownership or early-stage long-term lease, and client-service use of the facility.
Broad Eligibility
501(c)(3) organizations with a health and human services mission that own the client-service building or are in the early stage of a long-term lease. The facility must be used to provide client services. ABC Trust coverage spans 60 Alabama counties and excludes Colbert, DeKalb, Jackson, Lauderdale, Limestone, Madison, and Morgan counties.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 64/100. N9+ Fit Score 0/100. Strong relevance for nonprofit health and human services organizations needing facility energy-efficiency upgrades, but no legitimate N9+, telehealth, diagnostics, or remote-exam fit under the published purpose. Dr. Miltie, LLC is not a direct eligible applicant because applicants must be qualifying 501(c)(3) health and human services organizations.
The Alabama Business Charitable Trust (ABC Trust), established by Alabama Power, offers Efficiency Forward Grants to help eligible health and human services nonprofits improve the energy efficiency of facilities used to serve clients.
Funding: Up to $10,000 for qualifying energy-efficiency and weatherization improvements. Examples published by the funder include energy-efficient HVAC systems, lighting improvements, insulation, and other facility enhancements intended to lower energy use and operating costs.
Deadline: The current official Efficiency Forward page lists recurring application dates including October 28 and a November 4 review date, but it does not attach a year, exact closing time, or time zone to that schedule. Atlas therefore does not treat October 28, 2026 as an authoritative current deadline. Current-cycle timing must be confirmed with the ABC Trust team before publication or outreach.
Eligibility: Applicants must have 501(c)(3) status, maintain a health and human services mission, own the building or be in the early stage of a long-term lease, and use the location to provide client services rather than storage. The ABC Trust serves 60 counties in central and south Alabama; Colbert, DeKalb, Jackson, Lauderdale, Limestone, Madison, and Morgan counties are outside the Trust’s coverage area.
Application process: Interested organizations must contact the ABC Trust team. The team determines eligibility and, for eligible applicants, provides the application link. The public page does not publish a solicitation number, mandatory match or cost-share requirement, or a complete list of prohibited costs, so applicants should confirm project-specific requirements before committing expenses.
Atlas analysis: Atlas Opportunity Score 64/100. N9+ Fit Score 0/100. This is a legitimate healthcare-adjacent facilities opportunity for nonprofit health and human services organizations, but the published purpose is energy-efficiency/weatherization rather than clinical technology, telehealth, diagnostics, or remote physical examination. Dr. Miltie, LLC is not a direct eligible applicant under the 501(c)(3) health-and-human-services requirement.
