Funding
Grant awards range from $500 to $2,500. Awards are paid up front. The accessible controlling page does not state a mandatory match or cost-share requirement.
Deadline
Applications close September 14, 2026. The controlling source does not publish an exact clock time or time zone, so Atlas does not infer one.
Eligibility and Geography
Funding is confined to Jefferson, Berkeley, and Morgan counties, West Virginia. Eligible applicants include an existing 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(13) organization in good standing with the IRS; an existing government or quasi-governmental agency; a public school applying for a project not funded by tax revenue; a religious organization seeking support for a nonsectarian charitable purpose; or a civic group seeking support for a charitable community cause.
For 501(c)(3) applicants, charitable contributions above $300,000 but below $500,000 require the most recent independent CPA financial review. Charitable contributions above $500,000 require the most recent independent CPA audit. 501(c)(3) organizations must also be in good standing with the West Virginia Secretary of State’s Business & Licensing and Charities Division and with the IRS.
Program Priorities
Eligible themes include safeguarding habitat; Children and Nature, including youth education, youth activism, knowledge, hands-on activity, and physical movement; preservation of historic, cultural, and pastoral places; waste and recycling; energy conservation; and volunteer and leadership engagement.
Costs, Vendor Rules, and Match
The accessible controlling page does not publish a detailed eligible-cost or ineligible-cost schedule, procurement rules, vendor qualifications, or a mandatory match percentage. Applicants should not assume that a particular vendor, technology, equipment item, or professional service is allowable without confirmation through the application and funder.
Submission, Forms, and Reporting
Applications are submitted through the Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation’s GOapply portal. New applicants applying as a 501(c)(3) or other nonprofit are instructed to register as an Organization; public school teachers, church representatives, and other non-organizational applicants are instructed to register as an Individual. Two Rivers Giving Circle representatives may request a telephone or in-person interview and site visit. A final report summarizing outcomes and grant expenses is required by the date stated in the award email; the Foundation may consider extensions under unusual circumstances.

N9+ and Dr. Miltie Fit
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The published priorities concern conservation, historic preservation, youth nature education, physical activity, recycling, energy conservation, and civic engagement. The controlling source provides no reasonable basis to position the Nonagon N9+ remote physical examination platform as a funded project component.
QC Healthcare Fit: 0/100. No healthcare-services or healthcare-technology pathway is established by the published criteria. Dr. Miltie direct-applicant fit: 0/100. Dr. Miltie, LLC is not within the published eligible applicant classes, and Atlas identified no legitimate direct-vendor opportunity to advance.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 78/100. The opportunity is current, authoritative, geographically specific, and directly relevant to school and youth education, but the $2,500 maximum is modest and there is no healthcare or N9+ pathway.
Priority organization: Potomac Valley Audubon Society – Organization Opportunity Score 99/100. PVAS operates preserves in Jefferson, Berkeley, and Morgan counties and provides youth camps and Pre-K through sixth-grade school programs tied to state standards, making it an exceptionally strong mission and geography match for the Children and Nature priority. Any application must remain applicant-controlled and satisfy the Foundation’s current eligibility and financial-document requirements.
Next Actions
For a qualified applicant, verify current organizational good standing and required financial documentation, select a project clearly tied to a published Two Rivers priority, confirm any cost or vendor questions in the live application or with the Foundation, and submit through GOapply before September 14, 2026.
