Opportunity Summary
The Grant County Community Foundation, a component fund of the North Dakota Community Foundation, is accepting applications for its Fall 2026 grant round. The Fall round has $63,500 available and applications are due October 12, 2026. The controlling public page does not state an exact deadline clock time, time zone, solicitation number, or per-applicant maximum.
Eligibility
Eligible applicants include IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and government agencies serving Grant County, North Dakota. Organizations that are not independently eligible may contact NDCF about fiscal sponsorship. The committee prioritizes projects serving more county residents and organizations with limited access to other funding. Routine operating expenses, activities substantially supported by tax revenue, and national organizations are lower priority. Grants are not made to individuals, for scholarships, multi-year pledges, or political, lobbying, propaganda, or controversial organizational purposes.
Healthcare and N9+ Fit
The fund expressly identifies school technology, special needs in a nursing home or hospital, ambulance needs, and fire needs as appropriate grant ideas. Recent awards include $5,000 to Jacobson Memorial Hospital Care Center for an autoclave in 2025, $20,000 to the hospital for a powered ambulance cot in 2023, and $15,000 to New Leipzig Ambulance Service for a Cardiac Ready Community AED in 2025. Atlas assigns an N9+ Fit Score of 80/100. A defensible applicant-led rural-access project could use the Nonagon N9+ remote physical examination platform for guided examinations, vitals, and telehealth-enabled clinical encounters, but the specific technology, equipment, platform, implementation, and vendor costs must be confirmed as allowable before budgeting.
Funding and Deadline
The Fall 2026 round has $63,500 available. Applications are due October 12, 2026. No exact deadline time or time zone is published, no per-applicant maximum is stated, and no mandatory match or cost-share requirement is stated on the controlling public page. Approved requests may be funded in full or in part.
Application Requirements
Applications are submitted through the NDCF Grant Portal. Portal registration requires organization name, EIN, executive-officer information, and an individual user account. The public fund page does not enumerate a grant-specific mandatory attachment checklist, vendor or procurement rules, or amendment schedule; applicants should confirm those items in the live portal before submission.
Direct Vendor Review
Dr. Miltie, LLC is not being advanced as a direct applicant because the published applicant categories are qualifying nonprofits and government agencies serving Grant County. The appropriate structure is an eligible local applicant, with Dr. Miltie/QC Healthcare serving only as a technology vendor or implementation partner if the applicant selects that approach and NDCF confirms the proposed costs are eligible.
Atlas Next Step
For Jacobson Memorial Hospital Care Center or another eligible Grant County organization, define an applicant-controlled project, confirm technology and vendor cost allowability, verify all live portal requirements and the exact deadline time before outreach or submission, and apply through the NDCF Grant Portal by October 12, 2026.
