Opportunity Overview
Open now. The City of Hillsboro is accepting applications for its 2026-2029 Community Impact Grant, a competitive three-year grant focused on Mental & Behavioral Health for Hillsboro residents.
Funding and Deadline
Eligible nonprofit organizations may request up to $120,000 over three years, capped at $40,000 per year. Applications are due September 15, 2026 at 11:59 PM. The official City page does not state a time zone, so applicants should confirm the ZoomGrants portal clock and submit early. The City does not state a total program funding pool on the public page.
Who Can Apply
Applicants must be qualified tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations serving Hillsboro community members. Organizations may submit only one application in this Impact Grant cycle, may be named as a partner in another application while submitting their own, and may combine Impact Grant funds with other grant funds and revenue sources.
2026-2029 Priority Area
The priority area is Mental & Behavioral Health. The City identifies examples including increasing access to mental and behavioral health services, early intervention and crisis prevention, ongoing behavioral-health support, substance-use prevention, treatment, recovery and peer support, reducing barriers for underserved communities, and strengthening coordination among providers and community organizations.
Application and Requirements
Applications are submitted through ZoomGrants, where an organization account is required. Incomplete applications and proposals that do not address the selected priority area will not be considered. The official program page does not state a mandatory match or cost-share requirement; it expressly permits applicants to combine this funding with other grant funds and revenue sources.
Atlas Assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 88/100. This is a strong local healthcare and social-service funding opportunity because it offers multi-year support and expressly targets mental and behavioral health access and services. The near-term deadline limits the practical window for new applicant development.
N9+ Fit Score: 12/100. The mental and behavioral health focus can support programs involving care access and coordination, but the City does not establish N9+ devices, remote physical examinations, connected diagnostics, or telehealth technology as eligible costs. Any technology component must be independently justified and verified before budgeting.
