Opportunity Overview
The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation Proposal Development Award provides Michigan nonprofit community organizations with funding to contract a grant writer to create and submit health-related grant proposals. The Foundation specifically notes that recipient organizations may use the support to pursue funding from the BCBSM Foundation, Michigan Health Endowment Fund, local community foundations, the Health Resources and Services Administration, and other funders.
Funding and Deadline
The award offers up to $3,500. Applications are accepted at any time; the Foundation publishes no fixed application deadline, closing time, or time zone for this rolling opportunity.
Eligibility and Allowable Costs
Eligible applicants are Michigan-based nonprofit community organizations. Award funds are restricted to proposal-development costs such as technical assistance, freelance proposal writers, and related proposal-development expenses. A proposal that has already been completed is ineligible. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan employees, affiliate employees, and specified immediate family members are also ineligible.
Application and Required Materials
Applicants submit the Foundation’s application through Benevity. Required materials include the completed application form, resume/CV of the Project Director and other key personnel, the organization’s mission/history/services, the most recent IRS 501(c)(3) federal tax-exemption letter, and the most recent tax return or audited financial statement. These applicant-controlled materials must come from the applicant and will not be fabricated by Atlas.
Atlas Strategic Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 96/100.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. This award does not fund the Nonagon N9+ device/platform or QC Healthcare clinical services. It does support an applicant-partner grant-preparation service pathway because the controlling program expressly funds contract grant writers and related proposal-development support. This is not a direct-vendor opportunity for Dr. Miltie without an applicant partner: the prime applicant must be an eligible Michigan nonprofit community organization pursuing a not-yet-completed health-related grant proposal.
Verification Notes
No solicitation number, fixed cycle closing date, mandatory match/cost share, or separate grant-writer procurement procedure is published on the controlling page reviewed. Applicant-specific nonprofit status, proposal stage, target funder, project need, financial documents, personnel materials, and authorization must be independently substantiated before package advancement or outreach.
