Atlas Analysis
Nursey Foundation offers up to $20,000 per approved project for Greater Tampa Bay charities addressing mental health, hunger, homelessness, foster care transitions and childhood illness. Organizations need at least three years of operations, local headquarters and 501(c)(3) status. General operating and capital expenses, debt, religious programming, lobbying and research projects are excluded. Applicants pass an initial review and possibly an invited financial review. The funder's own page conflicts on Q4 deadline (November 13 vs 14, 2026); use earlier November 13 unless clarified.
The Nursey Foundation Impact Fund (NFIF) Q4 2026 cohort offers competitive project grants to eligible charitable organizations responding to urgent community needs in the Greater Tampa Bay area, Florida. The five eligible program pillars are mental health, hunger, homelessness, foster care transitions, and childhood illness. This is a nonprofit financial-assistance program, not procurement or direct grants to individuals.
Applicant-level funding: A qualified organization may request up to $20,000. Full funding is not guaranteed and awards may be smaller. The foundation does not publish an overall pool for this cohort; no universal matching-fund percentage or reimbursement-only rule is stated in the current instructions.
Eligibility: The applicant must be an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) public charity in good standing, physically located in the Greater Tampa Bay area with its headquarters and financial governance in that area, and demonstrate at least three years of operation and community impact. The particular proposed project must fit one of the five pillars. Beneficiaries cannot be required to pay for services funded by the grant. Only one application per organization per year is allowed, whether accepted or denied.
Restrictions: Funds must be used for the approved project, not general administration or staff salaries, renovations or capital purchases, land acquisition, sectarian or worship activities, politics or lobbying, debt or endowments, research-focused projects, or unapproved budget items. Applications are competitively reviewed, with the foundation encouraging early submission.
Application process: Phase 1 seeks organizational and program information, measurable outcomes, and a project budget. Strong candidates may be invited to Phase 2 and must provide their last two IRS Forms 990 within three weeks, with two years of financial statements strongly recommended. Board review and progress/final reporting follow. A Phase 2 invitation is not an award guarantee.
Deadline discrepancy: The official Q4 announcement states the cohort closes November 14, 2026, while the detailed 2026 application schedule on the same official page states November 13, 2026. Applicants should treat November 13 as the conservative deadline and obtain confirmation from the funder rather than assuming an extension; no precise hour or time zone is published. Review and apply using the official Nursey Foundation application and instructions. Official source verified October 25, 2026.
