Opportunity Overview
Open regional West Virginia foundation opportunity. Tucker Community Foundation is accepting 2026 General Grant applications from nonprofit organizations and other charitable programs. The Foundation’s service area includes Barbour, Grant, Mineral, Pendleton, Pocahontas, Preston, Randolph, Tucker, and Upshur counties in West Virginia, plus Garrett County, Maryland. Atlas is tracking and operationalizing only the West Virginia geography.
Funding
The Foundation states that there is no cap on the amount requested. Requests exceeding $5,000 require detailed tracking and reporting plans. The Foundation reports that it distributed $145,000 through Tucker Community Foundation grants in 2025, but that historical total is not an applicant award ceiling or a guaranteed 2026 pool.
Deadline
The controlling grant page states that the 2026 grant cycle closes Friday, September 18, 2026. The official 2026 General Grant Application further states that applications sent by email must be received by 3:00 p.m. on Friday, September 18, 2026. The application does not state a time zone, so Atlas does not infer one. The PDF also contains inconsistent legacy date text for mailed and hand-delivered applications; applicants using those methods should confirm the operative date directly with the Foundation.
Eligibility and Geography
The General Grant pathway is open to nonprofit organizations or other charitable programs. Relevant West Virginia service-area counties are Barbour, Grant, Mineral, Pendleton, Pocahontas, Preston, Randolph, Tucker, and Upshur. Applicant-specific charitable status and project geography must be confirmed before submission.
Healthcare and Behavioral-Health Relevance
The Foundation’s current fund inventory expressly includes health-focused resources, including the Barbour Healthy Community Fund and the full-service-area “Dutch” Easton Family Fund. The “Dutch” Easton Family Fund is designated to benefit children, adolescents, and families affected by mental-health and substance-use disorders, as well as nonprofit mental-health and substance-use organizations serving them. The Foundation also maintains a designated Tucker County Emergency Medical Services Fund, and its 2025 grant history includes support to Tucker County Ambulance Authority for an EMS symposium and match funding for a training mannequin.
Match, Costs, Vendor Rules, and Forms
The controlling public grant page does not state a mandatory match or cost-share requirement for General Grants and does not publish a complete list of eligible or ineligible costs or vendor/procurement restrictions. Atlas therefore does not assume that equipment, telehealth technology, professional services, indirect costs, or vendor purchases are allowable. The official 2026 General Grant Application is linked from the Foundation’s grant page and must control applicant-specific budget, documentation, signature, and submission requirements. No addenda or FAQ modifying the September 18, 2026 deadline were identified on the controlling grant page during the current verification.
N9+ and Dr. Miltie Fit
N9+ Fit Score: 18/100. The health and behavioral-health alignment is real, but the controlling public grant page does not establish remote-exam equipment, telehealth hardware, or the Nonagon N9+ remote physical examination platform as an allowable expense. N9+ should only be considered if an eligible applicant develops a program-specific use case and the Foundation confirms the cost is allowable.
QC Healthcare Fit: 35/100 conditional. A compliant service or implementation role could be relevant to a health or behavioral-health project if permitted by the final application and approved budget. Dr. Miltie, LLC should not be treated as a direct eligible applicant based on the public nonprofit/charitable-program eligibility language.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 90/100. This is a verified, open, regionally targeted funding source with strong behavioral-health relevance, flexible request sizing, and a current September 18 deadline. The strongest applicant targets are established West Virginia nonprofit behavioral-health, substance-use, EMS, rural-health, child/family-service, and community-health organizations operating in the Foundation’s West Virginia service area.
Priority West Virginia Applicant
Appalachian Community Health Center – Atlas Organization Opportunity Score: 98/100. West Virginia Secretary of State records identify Appalachian Community Health Center, Inc. as a domestic nonprofit corporation in Elkins. Its official site states that it is a fully licensed behavioral-health center serving adults, children, and families across Barbour, Randolph, Tucker, and Upshur counties, which are within the Foundation’s service area. The organization also provides office-based medication-assisted treatment in cooperation with the WVU COAT Program, creating direct alignment with the Foundation’s mental-health and substance-use field-of-interest funding.
Next Actions
Qualified applicants should review the official 2026 General Grant Application, confirm project and cost eligibility directly against the application, document service-area benefit, and if submitting by email, send the complete application to grants@tuckerfoundationwv.org by 3:00 p.m. on September 18, 2026. Because the application does not state a time zone and contains inconsistent legacy dates for mailed and hand-delivered submissions, applicants using those methods should confirm timing directly with the Foundation. Atlas should not claim N9+ or any vendor cost as allowable until confirmed by the controlling application or the Foundation.
