Opportunity Summary
The Garrison Area Community Foundation, affiliated with the North Dakota Community Foundation, is accepting annual grant applications for projects and nonprofit organizations serving the Garrison community. Completed applications are due on or before October 1, 2026. The controlling public page states that the advisory committee may extend the deadline, but no current 2026 extension is posted. The public page does not state an exact cutoff clock time or time zone, a 2026 funding pool, a per applicant maximum, or a solicitation number.
Eligibility
Eligible applicants are IRS recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and government agencies serving the Garrison community. Organizations without qualifying status may contact NDCF about using a fiscal sponsor. Religious organizations may be considered only for activities that are non denominational and serve the entire community. Grants to individuals and scholarships are not considered.
Funding Priorities
High priority is given to organizations serving youth, senior citizens, leadership, and community development, and to projects or programs benefiting a greater number of residents. Multiple year funding and routine operating or day to day expenses are lower priority. The current public page does not publish a 2026 total pool or award ceiling. The most recent award history displayed on the controlling page includes grants from $500 to $2,500, but those historical awards are not a current maximum.
Healthcare and N9+ Fit
The fund has direct senior care precedent. Benedictine Living Community Garrison received $1,154 for blanket warmers in 2022 and $1,500 for music therapy in 2021. Benedictine currently operates a nonprofit senior living community in Garrison offering assisted living, independent living, memory care, rehabilitation, skilled nursing, and veterans services. Atlas assigns an N9+ Fit Score of 25/100. An applicant led senior care access or clinical technology project could potentially involve the Nonagon N9+ device and platform, but the fund does not expressly identify telehealth, remote examination technology, medical equipment, platform fees, implementation, or vendor services as allowable costs. Those costs must be confirmed before budgeting or outreach.
Funding and Deadline
The 2026 funding pool, current award range, and per applicant maximum are not published. Applications are due on or before October 1, 2026. No exact clock time or time zone is published. No mandatory match or cost share requirement is stated on the controlling public page.
Application Requirements
Applications are submitted through the NDCF Grants Portal. Registration requires the organization name, EIN, executive officer name, and an individual user account. Applicants review the fund guidelines, register or log into the portal, select the grant program, and complete the application online. The public fund page does not enumerate a grant specific attachment checklist, required procurement documents, vendor rules, or an amendment schedule, so those items should be confirmed in the live portal before submission.
Direct Vendor Review
Dr. Miltie, LLC and QC Healthcare are not being advanced as direct applicants because the published applicant categories are qualifying nonprofit organizations and government agencies serving the Garrison community. The appropriate structure is an eligible local applicant, with Dr. Miltie or QC Healthcare participating only as an applicant selected vendor or implementation partner if the applicant chooses that approach and NDCF confirms the proposed costs are allowable.
Atlas Scoring
Atlas Opportunity Score: 58/100. N9+ Fit Score: 25/100. The opportunity is verified and relevant to North Dakota healthcare and community organizations, but the unpublished 2026 funding level, modest displayed historical awards, and lack of express clinical technology allowability limit the commercial fit.
Atlas Next Step
For Benedictine Living Community Garrison or another eligible local organization, confirm the applicant controlled project, current portal requirements, allowable technology and vendor costs, and the exact deadline time before any outreach or submission activity.
