Broad Eligibility

Nonprofit tax-exempt organizations enhancing quality of life in South Mississippi; fiscally sponsored organizations; educators; and public or private schools located in Harrison, Jackson, Hancock, Pearl River, Stone, or George counties.

Atlas Analysis

Small but directly relevant disability and education funding. N9+ fit is 0/100 because the public guidance supports training and educational needs rather than a telehealth or remote-examination technology acquisition pathway.

Opportunity Overview

The Mississippi Gulf Coast Community Foundation is accepting 2026 applications through the Anthony Dartez Endowment Fund. The fund supports services including, but not limited to, training and educational needs of people with physical or intellectual disabilities in South Mississippi.

Funding and Deadline

Awards are $2,000 or less. The current Foundation grant page states an application window of August 1 through October 31, 2026. No closing clock time or time zone is published on the controlling page, so Atlas does not infer one.

Who Can Apply

Eligible applicants include nonprofit tax-exempt organizations involved in enhancing quality of life for South Mississippi residents; organizations without IRS tax-exempt recognition that have a fiscal-agent relationship with a 501(c)(3); educators; and public or private schools on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The Foundation limits this fund to Harrison, Jackson, Hancock, Pearl River, Stone, and George counties.

Submission and Requirements

Applications are submitted through the Foundation’s online GrantInterface portal. The controlling public page does not state a match requirement, separate registration requirement, required references, or a detailed list of eligible and ineligible cost categories. Applicants should use the live portal for the current application questions and attachments and contact the Foundation at 228-897-4841 or info@mgccf.org for clarification.

Atlas Analysis

N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. This is a small disability-focused education and training grant, not a healthcare technology or telehealth procurement. The Nonagon N9+ should not be forced into the opportunity. Broader QC Healthcare or Dr. Miltie services fit is also low unless an eligible applicant independently defines a compliant disability-training project that genuinely requires such services.

Atlas Opportunity Score: 72/100. The fund is highly accessible for eligible Gulf Coast schools and disability-serving nonprofits, but the $2,000 ceiling sharply limits project scope.
