Opportunity Overview

The Mississippi Gulf Coast Community Foundation is accepting 2026 applications through the Pat Santucci Education Fund. The fund supports projects that impact public education, educators, and people with physical or intellectual disabilities in Harrison, Hancock, Jackson, Stone, Pearl River, and George County school districts.

Funding and Deadline

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

Eligibility and Restrictions

Applicants must be nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations involved in enhancing quality of life for citizens of South Mississippi. Organizations without IRS tax-exempt recognition may apply through a fiscal-agent relationship with a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The Foundation expressly states that capital projects, operating endowment fund drives, political activities, individuals, and religious activities are not funded.

Submission and Requirements

Applications are submitted through the Foundation’s online GrantInterface portal. The public guidance does not state a match requirement, separate registration requirement, mandatory references, or a detailed attachment list. Applicants should use the current portal for the operative application fields and contact the Foundation at 228-897-4841 or info@mgccf.org if clarification is needed.

Atlas Analysis

N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. This is a small education and disability-support grant. The public guidance does not establish a healthcare technology, remote physical examination, telehealth, RPM, or clinical-device acquisition pathway, so N9+ should not be forced into the request.

Atlas Opportunity Score: 68/100. The fund is relevant to Gulf Coast disability-serving nonprofits and public-education partners, but the $2,000 ceiling and nonprofit-only applicant structure limit the scale of a Dr. Miltie-aligned project.

Dr. Miltie direct-applicant status: Not advanced. The fund’s published applicant rule is nonprofit tax-exempt organizations or organizations using a 501(c)(3) fiscal agent; no basis was verified for Dr. Miltie, LLC to apply directly.
