Required next actionVerification hold. CFNEM's current NEMYAC guidelines verify the October 15, 2026 deadline, up to $2,500 per application cycle, approximately $50,000 awarded annually, eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofits plus schools and government agencies serving youth in Alcona, Alpena, Montmorency, or Presque Isle Counties, future-project restrictions, the presentation requirement, grant agreement/reporting, and the published budget example. The public guidelines do not publish a closing clock time or time zone, and the applicant portal requires account access. Before publication, scoring, applicant outreach, or package execution, verify the live portal's current required fields/uploads, any form-specific certifications, and match/cost-share treatment; capture any deadline clock time/time zone only if the controlling portal publishes it and do not infer one.
