Opportunity Overview
The Midland Area Community Foundation’s Youth Action Council is accepting grant requests for projects that directly improve the lives of young people in Midland County. The current official grant page lists the next 2026 deadline as October 15, 2026. The Foundation does not publish a closing clock time or time zone on the public page, so Atlas does not infer one.
Funding and Eligibility
Youth Action Council considers requests of up to $10,000. Midland Area Community Foundation states that its grant opportunities are open to eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit agencies, educational institutions, and government entities serving Midland County. Youth Action Council requests must have a direct impact on improving the lives of young people in Midland County.
Application Requirements and Submission
The Foundation directs applicants to its GOapply grant system and states that applicants should use the Foundation’s project budget template as the budget upload for applications listed on its grant page. The public Youth Action Council section does not publish a separate solicitation number, mandatory match percentage, universal procurement rule, or complete attachment checklist. Final portal prompts, required uploads, applicant certifications, and any project-specific restrictions must therefore be confirmed in the current GOapply application before package work or submission.
Atlas Strategic Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 72/100. This is a relevant Michigan school and youth opportunity because educational institutions are eligible, the award ceiling is meaningful for school or community youth projects, and the required outcome is direct benefit to Midland County young people.
N9+ Fit Score: 20/100, conditional. This is not a dedicated healthcare, telehealth, or clinical-technology grant. A health or school-health project could be relevant only where the applicant’s actual project and the current application permit the proposed costs. Atlas should not force N9+ into a general youth-development request.
Dr. Miltie, LLC direct-applicant status: Not eligible under the Foundation’s published applicant classes. Any Dr. Miltie or QC Healthcare role would need to be applicant-led and confirmed allowable.
Outreach Status
Publication is appropriate for the current October cycle. New applicant outreach is held pending authoritative confirmation of the exact October 15 closing time and time zone and verification of the current portal-specific requirements for the applicant’s project.
