Opportunity Summary
The McMahon Foundation, based in Lawton, Oklahoma, accepts grant requests from qualified Oklahoma organizations through a two step process beginning with a Letter of Inquiry. The Foundation gives primary consideration to organizations serving Comanche County and supports education, social and human services including health, cultural and humanitarian programs, and construction and capital projects. The opportunity is open on a year round basis at the LOI stage. Organizations invited to submit a full proposal must submit the complete application by the 28th of the month to be considered for the next monthly review cycle. The Foundation does not publish an exact cutoff clock time or time zone.
Eligibility
Applicants must hold current IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit status or be a governmental entity, be headquartered in Oklahoma, and provide services benefiting Oklahoma communities. Primary consideration is given to organizations serving Comanche County. Requests outside Comanche County may be considered but require unanimous approval from the Board of Trustees.
Funding Priorities
The Foundation supports education, social and human services including health, cultural and humanitarian programs, and construction and capital projects. The public guidelines do not publish a standard per applicant maximum, award range, annual pool, or mandatory match or cost share requirement. Those terms must not be inferred and should be confirmed for the applicant specific request.
Healthcare and N9+ Fit
Atlas assigns an N9+ Fit Score of 72/100. The Foundation expressly supports health related human services and capital projects, creating a legitimate but conditional pathway for an eligible Oklahoma nonprofit or governmental organization to propose a health access or clinical capacity project involving the Nonagon N9+ device and platform. The published guidance does not expressly identify telehealth, remote examination technology, medical devices, platform fees, implementation, or vendor services as allowable costs. Those costs must be confirmed with the Foundation before budgeting or applicant outreach.
Deadline and Review Cycle
The LOI stage is year round. Invited full grant applications must be submitted by the 28th of each month for consideration in the next review cycle. Board meetings are held on the second Monday of each month, and funding decisions and notifications may take up to 90 days. The public guidance does not publish an exact clock time or time zone for the monthly cutoff.
Application Requirements
All requests begin with a Letter of Inquiry providing an overview of the organization, proposed project or need, requested amount, and anticipated community impact. The Board reviews the LOI for mission, geography, and guideline alignment. Organizations invited to continue receive access to the full grant application. The public guidelines do not enumerate a universal full proposal attachment checklist, so the live invited application must control the final required forms and attachments.
Typical Exclusions
The Foundation generally does not fund direct mail or general fundraising solicitations, out of state institutions, permanent operational financing, grants to individuals, or requests requiring expenditure responsibility by the Foundation.
Direct Vendor Review
Dr. Miltie, LLC and QC Healthcare are not eligible direct applicants under the published applicant categories. A defensible role is limited to an applicant selected vendor or technology partner for an eligible Oklahoma nonprofit or governmental entity, after the applicant defines the project and the Foundation confirms the proposed technology and vendor costs are allowable.
Atlas Scoring
Atlas Opportunity Score: 86/100. N9+ Fit Score: 72/100. The Foundation is a strong Oklahoma and especially Comanche County funding source with explicit health, education, and capital priorities, but the lack of a published award ceiling and the absence of express clinical technology allowability keep N9+ fit conditional.
Atlas Next Step
For a qualified Comanche County nonprofit or governmental organization, first establish an applicant controlled health or education project, confirm technology and vendor cost allowability, submit the LOI, and use the invited full application and its current requirements as the controlling submission package. No applicant outreach should represent N9+ costs as eligible until that allowability is confirmed.
