Derby Community Foundation 2026 Community Enrichment Grant
The Derby Community Foundation is accepting applications for its 2026 Community Enrichment Grant cycle. Applications opened July 1, 2026 and are due September 30, 2026. The controlling public materials do not publish an exact closing time or time zone, so Atlas does not infer one.
Funding: Requests may range from $500 to $2,500. The Foundation states that up to $10,000 is awarded annually through the Community Enrichment Grant program.
Eligibility and geography: Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, schools, and governmental or municipal agencies. Projects must serve residents within the Derby community and USD 260 boundaries.
Key exclusions: The program does not fund clinical or medical research, capital campaigns, debt retirement or deficit financing, endowments, private foundations, real estate acquisitions, political projects, or programs promoting a specific religious denomination.
Match and cost share: The controlling 2026 public grant materials do not state a mandatory match or cost share requirement.
Submission: Applications must be submitted online through the CommunityGiving Grant Management System and include the required supporting documents. Grant recipients are selected through Foundation review and are required to complete grant agreement and reporting steps.
N9+ Fit Score: 5/100 conditional. The Nonagon N9+ device and platform is not a natural fit for this small community grant. Any applicant led technology concept would require a separately verified eligible project, confirmed equipment allowability, and a budget that fits within the $2,500 request ceiling. Atlas does not force fit N9+ into this opportunity.
QC Healthcare Fit: 0/100. No defensible direct QC Healthcare role is established by the controlling materials.
Direct vendor review: Dr. Miltie and QC Healthcare are not being advanced as direct applicants. Any future pursuit would need to be applicant or partner led through an eligible Derby organization.
Controlling sources: Derby Community Foundation Community Enrichment Grant Application and Derby Community Foundation Grants.
