Opportunity Overview
The Trumbull Memorial Health Foundation 2026 Health Grants, administered through the Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley, support work improving the health and well-being of residents of Trumbull County, Ohio. Current 2026-2028 priorities include access to health care, community safety, behavioral health, chronic disease, and maternal, infant and child health. Additional supported areas include cancer-patient needs, hospice, diabetes care and education, and orthopedic care or patient support.
Funding and Deadline
Funding typically ranges up to $20,000 and may support general operating requests or specific programs and projects. The current 2026 application deadline is October 15, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. The Foundation’s current grant page and linked Grantseeker’s Guide do not state a time zone for that deadline, so Atlas does not infer one.
Eligibility
Eligible applicants generally include organizations recognized by the IRS as public charities, including most 501(c)(3) charitable, scientific, social-service, educational and religious organizations, as well as government entities and public schools. Organizations that are not public charities may apply through a fiscal sponsor. Proposed activities must directly benefit residents of Trumbull County or the surrounding area.
Allowable Uses and Cost Share
CFMV guidance states that grants may cover programmatic, general operating or capital needs. Requests from individuals, election-campaign activity and retroactive funding for projects completed before the grant award date are generally not eligible. No mandatory match or cost share is stated. However, CFMV notes that it usually does not fund more than half of a project’s total cost, and the Trumbull Memorial Health Foundation identifies leverage of other public and private funding as a characteristic of strong proposals.
Application and Required Materials
Applications are submitted through CFMV’s online grant portal. CFMV states that grant applications must include the organization’s current annual budget, year-to-date income statement and board-member list. If the organization has been audited, it must also include a copy of the management letter from its most recent audited financial statements. Depending on applicant status and the specific application, additional documentation may be required in the portal. Applicant-controlled certifications, financial records and project facts must be supplied by the applicant and must not be fabricated.
Review Priorities and Contacts
Strong proposals use clearly defined success measures, lived or direct experience in planning and implementation, qualitative and quantitative data, cross-sector partners, and strategies that address underlying social and economic barriers to health. Priority is also given to grant seekers connected to the Healthy Community Partnership and aligned with its shared vision and goals. Organizations seeking to connect may contact Robin Perry at RPerry@hcpmahoningvalley.com or 330-743-5555. General grant questions may be directed to grants@cfmv.org.
Atlas Fit Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 88/100. This is a strong local opportunity for qualified Trumbull County health-access, behavioral-health, chronic-disease, maternal/child-health and community-health organizations with a concrete resident-serving project or operating need.
N9+ Fit Score: 67/100, conditional. The funder explicitly prioritizes access to hospitals, specialists and medical appointments and permits programmatic and capital support, creating a plausible pathway for guided remote physical examination or telehealth-enabled access when it is genuinely part of an applicant-owned care-access strategy. Atlas should not assume technology allowability or invent the clinical need.
Strong Applicant Profile
ONE Health Ohio is a realistic example because it operates multiple comprehensive health centers in Trumbull County, including Warren, Newton Falls and Cortland-area pediatric services, and provides primary medical, dental, behavioral-health and telehealth services. Coleman Health Services is also a credible behavioral-health candidate through its Trumbull County services. Any outreach must still clear organization-specific eligibility, prior-funding/final-report status, recipient verification, Email Opt-Out and same-opportunity deduplication.
