Community Health Alliance has opened its Fall 2026 Community Health Grants cycle for health-related projects serving western Montana. The program supports charitable nonprofit organizations and educational institutions addressing a health challenge, need, or opportunity aligned with the funder and the applicable funding category.
Funding categories: Rehabilitation Services and Education offers $35,000 total with a $10,000 maximum grant. Diabetes Education offers $4,000 total with a $2,000 maximum grant.
Deadline: applications are due November 12, 2026. The controlling public grant page does not publish a closing clock time or time zone, so Atlas will not infer one.
Eligibility: charitable nonprofit entities, excluding private foundations, with tax-exempt status under IRS Section 501(c)(3) and, where appropriate, Section 170(c), as well as educational institutions. Preference is given to organizations serving children, families, and vulnerable populations in western Montana, offering unduplicated services, and using collaboration to increase impact. Applicants may apply once per year per category and may submit one application per cycle.
Material restrictions: applications are not accepted from private foundations or discriminatory organizations, or for solely individual benefit, fundraising events, medical research, influencing elections, or projects whose sole purpose is data collection. Awardees must sign a grant addendum and submit a final report within one year of the award.
Application controls: the public page requires the online application plus required information and documentation, but it does not enumerate the complete current upload package, match or cost-share treatment, detailed budget rules, or a deadline clock time/time zone. Those items must be confirmed in the live application before applicant execution or package production.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 88/100. N9+ Fit: 15/100 conditional. QC Healthcare Fit: 20/100 conditional. Dr. Miltie direct-applicant fit: 0/100. The opportunity is strongly health-relevant, but the public guidance does not establish equipment, technology, telehealth, or third-party clinical-service cost allowability. Do not force a device or services pathway.
Current Atlas action: verification hold. Keep this opportunity in draft status and do not begin new applicant outreach until the live application authoritatively confirms the exact November 12 submission time/time zone, complete required information and uploads, budget rules, and match/cost-share treatment. Eligible organizations may evaluate project fit while those controls are being verified.
