Opportunity Overview
The Utah Medical Association Foundation 2026 Second Period Grants support specific projects benefiting Utah residents. The Foundation identifies eligible purposes including physician education, improvements to healthcare facilities and treatment options, and public health projects that mitigate or prevent disease.
Eligibility
Giving is limited to 501(c)(3) organizations. Proposed projects must benefit citizens of Utah and fit one or more of the Foundation’s stated healthcare, medical education, treatment access, or public health purposes.
Funding and Deadline
The current Foundation guidelines state that second-period applications are received by October 15, reviewed from October 15 through November 30, with mailed decisions by December 27 and grants paid in late December. For 2026, October 15 falls on a Thursday. The Foundation does not publish a closing clock time or time zone, so Atlas does not infer one.
The Foundation does not publish a maximum request amount, award range, total funding pool, or number of awards on the current guidelines page or application form. Applicants must request a specific dollar amount rather than a range and disclose the total project cost, annual organizational budget, previous UMA Foundation support, and committed donors.
Required Application Materials
The Foundation requires one hard copy of the application on white paper using its prescribed format. The application calls for the organization’s mission and designated contacts, a concise project description, a specific funding request, committed donors and amounts, officers and board members, and a detailed project budget.
Required financial and organizational materials include the most recent annual financial statement and operating budget, the most recent CPA audit or audit review when different from the financial statement, an IRS exemption letter with Tax ID number, and the organization’s most recent tax return. The Foundation also requires an expenditure report within one year after receipt of a grant.
Submission
Applications are submitted as hard-copy documents to Utah Medical Association Foundation, Attn: Michelle McOmber, 6820 South 900 East, Suite 300, Midvale, Utah 84047-1737. The Foundation’s current page provides the official PDF and Word application forms and a telephone contact for granting details.
Atlas Fit Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 82/100. This is a recurring Utah-only healthcare foundation opportunity with clear nonprofit eligibility and direct relevance to healthcare access, treatment options, medical education, and public health. The absence of a published award ceiling and detailed cost-allowability rules reduces certainty for project budgeting.
N9+ Fit Score: 45/100 conditional. A legitimate role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform could exist only when an eligible nonprofit has a specific healthcare access or treatment project and the Foundation confirms the proposed technology cost is allowable. The published guidance does not expressly identify telehealth equipment, remote examination technology, or medical devices as eligible costs, so Atlas will not assume allowability.
QC Healthcare Fit: 20/100 conditional. Any role would depend on an eligible nonprofit-led project and Foundation approval. Dr. Miltie is not treated as the direct applicant under the published 501(c)(3) eligibility rule.
Verification Notes
Atlas verified the live Utah Medical Association Foundation guidelines and the official grant application on September 13, 2026. No mandatory matching requirement is stated in the published materials reviewed. The application asks applicants to identify committed donors, but Atlas does not treat that disclosure as a mandatory cost-share requirement without an express Foundation rule.
