Noble REMC Operation Round Up is accepting applications for its next 2026 grant cycle from nonprofit, community-based organizations and school corporations serving the cooperative’s service territory, primarily Noble and DeKalb counties in northeast Indiana.
Requests may be made for up to $5,000 for a project or service. Noble REMC states that applications for the next cycle will be accepted until October 1, 2026. The current official program page and application do not publish a closing clock time or deadline time zone, so Atlas must not infer one.
The official program page requires written 501(c)(3) documentation and a federal EIN. The current application also provides eligibility paths for an educational institution or municipal entity, with an EIN required. A one-page cover letter must explain the amount requested, use of funds, project goal, and the applicant’s mission. Applicants are asked for current financial information, board/officer or trustee information, other funding sources, two references, and applicable quotes.
The application may be submitted as one unbound copy to Noble REMC Operation Round Up, PO Box 137, Albion, Indiana 46701, or by email to oru@nobleremc.com. A final report on use of grant funds is required at project completion.
Healthcare relevance is verified but project-specific. Noble REMC’s September 1, 2026 award announcement included $2,500 to St. Martin’s Healthcare for chronic disease management and $650 for technology equipment to another community organization. These examples demonstrate that health-related services and some technology projects can be funded, but they do not establish automatic eligibility for any specific device, vendor, telehealth, or N9+ cost.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 82/100. N9+ Fit: 15/100 conditional. QC Healthcare Fit: 22/100 conditional. The $5,000 ceiling and broad project/service structure make this more suitable for small applicant-led community-health needs than for a substantial N9+ deployment. Ordinary ORIGINAL outreach must not introduce or sell N9+.
Before ORIGINAL outreach, verify a specific applicant’s location/service-territory nexus, legal eligibility, project fit, any prior Noble REMC Operation Round Up request within the past year, the controlling October 1 cutoff time/time zone directly from Noble REMC if necessary, verified business Contact, Email_Opt_Out, permanent-bounce status, Account/Contact/Deal/Atlas_Email_Queue deduplication, and authoritative prior send history. If the exact deadline timing remains materially ambiguous, fail closed.
