Opportunity Overview
The Community Foundation of East Mississippi (CFEM) is accepting 2026 Cycle 3 applications for the Sandra Welch Niehuss Foundation for Cancer Prevention and Treatment. The fund supports community education and awareness programs related to cancer.
Eligibility and Geography
Applicants must be nonprofit organizations serving residents of Clarke, Kemper, Lauderdale, Neshoba, or Newton County, Mississippi.
Funding and Deadline
CFEM’s controlling 2026 grant-cycle page lists Cycle 3 as September 1 through October 31, 2026. The public page does not publish a closing clock time or time zone, so Atlas does not infer one.
The controlling public page also does not publish a universal award amount or range, a mandatory match or cost-share requirement, or a detailed allowable/ineligible-cost schedule for this fund. Those items must be confirmed in the live CFEM Grant Lifecycle Manager application before applicant-specific package work or submission.
Submission
Applications are submitted through the Community Foundation of East Mississippi’s online Grant Lifecycle Manager portal. The live portal is currently available for account login and new-account creation. Applicants should use the current portal for operative application fields, forms, attachments, budget requirements, and any fund-specific instructions.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 72/100. This is a legitimate, currently open Mississippi foundation opportunity with direct health relevance for cancer prevention education and awareness. Its local five-county geography and unpublished award size limit planning certainty.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The controlling public description supports community education and awareness, not telehealth hardware, remote examination technology, or healthcare equipment procurement. N9+ should not be forced into this opportunity.
QC Healthcare / Dr. Miltie direct-vendor fit: 0/100 on current facts. Applicant eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations serving the stated East Mississippi counties, and the public program description does not establish a direct vendor pathway.
Required next action: Before any applicant-specific CRM pursuit, package production, or ORIGINAL outreach, confirm the live portal’s award amount or range, match/cost-share terms, allowable costs, budget/form/attachment requirements, and submission details for the selected nonprofit; then verify the organization, business Contact/email, Email_Opt_Out, permanent-bounce status, CRM and Atlas_Email_Queue deduplication, and authoritative send history.
