Opportunity Summary
The Hankinson Community Endowment Fund, a component fund of the North Dakota Community Foundation, supports charitable projects that improve quality of life for residents of Hankinson and the immediate surrounding area. The annual application deadline is October 31. The controlling public page does not state an exact deadline clock time, time zone, solicitation number, current 2026 total funding pool, or per-applicant maximum.
Eligibility
Eligible applicants include organizations recognized under IRS Code 501(c)(3), schools, park districts, and organizations with a formal city-government relationship. Community projects without qualifying tax status may use a fiscal sponsor when the project serves the whole community and is not for the benefit of a privately held business or individual.
Healthcare and N9+ Fit
The fund has direct emergency-medical precedent, including a $1,910 award to the Hankinson Ambulance Association for a portable defibrillator in 2023. Hankinson also has a local skilled nursing provider, St. Gerard’s Community of Care, which operates a 34-bed skilled nursing home and independent living residences. Atlas assigns an N9+ Fit Score of 16/100. A legitimate role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform would require an eligible applicant, a clearly documented healthcare use case, and confirmation that the proposed technology and implementation costs are allowable. Historical award scale is small and the fund does not expressly identify telehealth or remote examination technology.
Funding and Deadline
The Foundation does not publish a current 2026 funding pool or per-applicant maximum. Public grant history shows recent individual awards generally below $2,000. Applications are due October 31; no exact cutoff 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. Portal registration requires the organization name, EIN, executive-officer name, and user credentials. The public fund page does not enumerate a grant-specific mandatory attachment checklist or current amendment schedule. Applicants should confirm all live portal requirements before submission.
Direct Vendor Review
Dr. Miltie/QC Healthcare is not being advanced as a direct applicant. Any role would need to be applicant-led, with Dr. Miltie/QC Healthcare serving only as a vendor or implementation partner if selected by an eligible local organization and if the Foundation confirms the relevant costs are allowable.
Atlas Next Step
For Hankinson Ambulance Association, St. Gerard’s Community of Care, or another qualifying local organization, define a narrowly scoped project, confirm applicant status and technology/vendor cost allowability, verify all live portal requirements, and obtain the exact deadline time before any applicant outreach.
