Open Alaska foundation grant. Mat-Su Health Foundation’s Target Wellness Grants provide up to $25,000 for projects dedicated to improving the health and wellness of people living in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.
Deadline: Applications are accepted year-round; no fixed closing date or time is published. Mat-Su Health Foundation states that Target Wellness requests are considered throughout the year.
Eligibility and geography: The primary applicant class is Alaska nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations that are not private foundations and that offer services or benefits to Mat-Su residents. In select cases, the Foundation may also fund health-related initiatives undertaken by religious, governmental, educational, or Tribal agencies when the work benefits the broader Mat-Su community. Projects must benefit Mat-Su Borough residents or an organization serving Mat-Su residents.
Funding and match: Requests may be up to $25,000. The current controlling grant pages do not state a mandatory match or cost-share requirement. Atlas found no published fixed program-wide award pool for this rolling opportunity.
Eligible project scope: Funding supports health and wellness projects across the Foundation’s priorities. Current Foundation award records show Target Wellness support for program expenses and project purchases, including routine medical supplies and equipment in approved projects. Applicants should still confirm cost allowability for any proposed telehealth, connected-care, medical-equipment, or technology purchase rather than assuming it is automatically eligible.
Application: Applications are submitted online through the Mat-Su Health Foundation grantee portal. The Foundation recommends gathering organization contact information, tax ID and legal name, project title and request amount, project budget, start/end dates, project description and statement of need, target population and community support, and current revenue sources. Financial statement information is also required. The published Target Wellness timeline is approximately 85–105 days from application receipt through payment processing.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 92/100. This is a flexible, rolling local health-and-wellness vehicle with a modest but useful award ceiling and strong relevance to rural health, primary care, behavioral health, school/community health, EMS, aging, disability, and access initiatives in Mat-Su.
N9+ Fit Score: 72/100, conditional. A focused remote physical-examination, connected-assessment, mobile integrated health, school-health, or rural-access component can be a credible project fit when it directly advances an eligible Mat-Su health outcome. The Foundation does not expressly promise that N9+, telehealth equipment, or technology is allowable in every project, so applicant-specific budget and program confirmation is required.
QC Healthcare / Dr. Miltie fit: 45/100, conditional. Dr. Miltie, LLC is not a primary eligible direct applicant because the published applicant class centers on Alaska nonprofits and specified public/Tribal entities. A vendor, implementation, or technical-support role may be considered only within an eligible applicant’s approved project and budget.
Realistic Alaska applicants: Eligible Mat-Su nonprofits and public/Tribal organizations with defined health projects are the strongest candidates. Sunshine Community Health Center is one current rural-health candidate because it serves the Talkeetna/Willow area and has publicly identified mobile integrated health, behavioral health, care coordination, rural access, and value-based care among its current priorities.
