Opportunity Overview
Verified open West Virginia health funding opportunity. The Pallottine Foundation of Huntington’s Core Priorities Initiative supports large, health-related projects with transformative or systems-level impact. The funded scope directly includes mental and behavioral health, substance use disorder, food insecurity, and tobacco use prevention and cessation. The Foundation’s mental and behavioral health strategy expressly includes telehealth and mobile mental health services.
Funding
Requests must range from $100,000 to $300,000. Projects are typically designed for a two-year performance period. The Foundation states that it funds an average of four to five Core Priorities projects per year.
Deadline and Application Timing
This is a rolling, invitation-based opportunity. The Foundation’s Board of Trustees considers Core Priorities proposals throughout the year at quarterly meetings. Potential applicants must first speak with a Foundation program team member and may then be invited to apply. No fixed submission deadline, clock time, or time zone is published, so Atlas does not infer one.
Eligibility and Geography
Applicants must be nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The proposed program, project, or service must align with the Foundation’s mission and at least one Core Priority and serve clients in the Foundation’s twenty-county Tri-State region. Eligible West Virginia counties are Boone, Cabell, Kanawha, Lincoln, Logan, Mason, Mingo, western Putnam, and Wayne. Statewide nonprofits are strongly encouraged to contact a Foundation program officer before applying.
Allowable Costs and Restrictions
The Foundation generally does not fund individuals, endowments, academic scholarships, indirect costs, major capital projects, projects outside the service region, or retroactive funding. Other expenses are considered case by case. The Foundation’s current Core Priorities preparation materials instruct applicants to submit a project budget tied to project operation and list examples including consulting, hardware, software, program supplies, training, travel, and printing. Applicants should include relevant quotes and identify other financial or in-kind support. No mandatory match percentage is published, although significant co-funding and in-kind support are competitive strengths.
Program Design and Evaluation
Competitive projects may pilot innovative and scalable approaches, address issues regionally, include meaningful community partnerships, incorporate strong data collection and evaluation, and demonstrate a credible sustainability plan. The application requests project goals, measurable targets, evaluation methods, staffing roles, partner commitments, organizational financial statements, current budget, and information on grants over $25,000 received during the previous two completed fiscal years.
N9+ and Dr. Miltie Fit
N9+ Fit Score: 58/100 conditional. The Foundation explicitly supports telehealth and mobile mental health services, and its preparation materials include hardware as an example project expense. A Nonagon N9+ remote physical examination platform could therefore be a legitimate component of an eligible nonprofit-led integrated behavioral-health, mobile-care, or telehealth project if it directly advances the funded objective and the Foundation approves the cost. N9+ is not preapproved and should not be presented as automatically allowable.
QC Healthcare Fit: 40/100 conditional. QC Healthcare or other Dr. Miltie services may fit as a compliant vendor or project partner when an eligible nonprofit leads the application and the service is tied directly to the approved health objective. Dr. Miltie is not the intended direct applicant.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 95/100. This opportunity passes the Atlas healthcare publication-scope gate because the controlling source directly funds behavioral health, substance use disorder treatment and prevention, and telehealth/mobile mental health services. A strong realistic applicant is Prestera Health Services, which provides behavioral health, substance use disorder, crisis, integrated-care and primary-care services across multiple eligible West Virginia counties.
Submission Method and Contacts
After an initial discussion and invitation, applications are submitted through the Foundation’s grant-management system. Program contacts are Jana Stoner, Senior Program Officer for Mission and Strategy, 304-397-5955, jstoner@pfwv.org, and Claire Snyder, Senior Program Officer for Learning and Impact, 304-397-5955, csnyder@pfwv.org.
