Required next actionVerification hold. Before applicant-specific ORIGINAL outreach or package production, confirm the applicable fund pathway, current available funding, a defensible request amount, any match or cost-share requirement, and allowable/excluded costs. Then clear CRM Contact, Email_Opt_Out, permanent-bounce, Deal, Atlas_Email_Queue, and authoritative original-send-history gates.
Broad Eligibility
501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations with a functional board of directors, proof of tax-exempt status, and a location in Boyle, Garrard, Lincoln, or Mercer County, Kentucky.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 72/100. N9+ Fit 18/100 conditional. QC Healthcare Fit 24/100 conditional. The rolling local opportunity can support community-benefit projects, and the Mercer County Community Endowment specifically identifies health among its focus areas, but the current core application does not establish a telehealth, remote-examination, diagnostic-device, or clinical-equipment pathway. No grant ceiling, universal match, or detailed cost restrictions are published, so applicant-specific action remains fail-closed pending clarification.
Verification hold. Wilderness Trace Community Foundation, an affiliate of the Community Foundation of Louisville, currently accepts proposals year-round for its Wilderness Trace Community Endowment Grant.
Verified eligibility and geography
The current official page invites nonprofit organizations with a functional board of directors, proof of 501(c)(3) status, and a location in Boyle, Garrard, Lincoln, or Mercer counties to apply. The Foundation serves those four Kentucky counties.
Funding and deadline
Applications are accepted year-round. The current public page and application do not publish a fixed per-applicant minimum or maximum award, a mandatory match or cost-share percentage, or a fixed submission deadline.
Application requirements and submission
The current application requests the organization name and contact information, program or project title, total project budget, requested grant amount, project summary, community impact, implementation timetable, organizational mission and history, current programs and activities, evidence of effectiveness, population and geographic region served, and an applicant signature. A project budget must be attached. The completed application is submitted by email to the Advisory Chair identified by the Foundation.
Atlas assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 72/100. This is a legitimate rolling local-foundation opportunity with broad community-benefit potential. N9+ Fit: 18/100 conditional. QC Healthcare Fit: 24/100 conditional. Health is expressly identified as a focus of the Mercer County Community Endowment, but the core Wilderness Trace application does not specifically solicit telehealth, diagnostic technology, remote examinations, or clinical equipment. Any healthcare or equipment concept must be applicant-led and confirmed allowable before budgeting.
Verification hold
Before ORIGINAL outreach or package production, verify the applicant-specific fund pathway and current available funding, confirm the amount that may reasonably be requested, determine whether any match or cost share applies, and obtain authoritative confirmation of allowable and excluded costs. Do not infer unpublished terms.
