Verified September 25, 2026. The Community Foundation of Grant County has announced its 2026 Give To Grant Crowdfunding Partners — Fall Grant Cycle for nonprofits serving Grant County, Indiana.
Current cycle
Applications open September 28, 2026 and close October 23, 2026. The current official cycle page does not publish an exact closing clock time or time zone, so Atlas does not infer one. Applications are submitted online through the Foundation’s Grant Lifecycle Manager dashboard.
Funding and match
The Fall cycle lists Foundation requests of $2,500-$10,000, producing total project funding of $5,000-$20,000 with match. The Foundation’s crowdfunding rules confirm that an organization may request up to 50% of total project cost and must raise the remaining 50% through community donations. If the match goal is not met, the organization does not receive the Foundation match, although it keeps donations raised.
Eligibility and fit
The cycle is open to nonprofit organizations serving Grant County. General Foundation rules require applicants to be 501(c) nonprofits in good standing with the IRS; organizations with an open Foundation grant are not eligible until the prior grant is closed. For-profit businesses, individuals, political candidates or parties, and programs benefiting a specific church or religion are ineligible.
Projects should align with the Grant County Strategic Vision. Current Foundation priorities include health and human services, and the county’s strategic objectives explicitly include healthcare and mental-health access. The Fall cycle is designed for new or emerging projects, community-led initiatives, and ideas that can generate broad local support.
Application requirements
Required materials include a project budget, current balance sheet, income statement, fiscal-year budget, board/key-staff list, and a leadership approval letter signed by the Board President and Executive Director or equivalent volunteer-board officers. Three quotes are required when equipment, supplies, or contracted services are included, with one local quote when possible. Partnership agreements are required when the project involves joint service delivery with another organization.
Atlas fit
Atlas Opportunity Score: 85/100. N9+ Fit: 10/100 conditional. QC Healthcare Fit: 20/100 conditional. The cycle can support health and mental-health access projects, but the $10,000 Foundation ceiling, required 1:1 community match, and three-quote rule materially limit large technology or equipment deployments. N9+ is not a named priority and must not be introduced in ordinary initial outreach. Any medical equipment, telehealth, software, or contracted clinical-service cost must be tied to an applicant-led Grant County project and verified as allowable in the live application.
