Open now. CommonSpirit Health is accepting applications for the 2027 Community Health Improvement Grants serving the St. Rose Dominican de Lima, Siena, and San Martin hospital communities in Southern Nevada. Applications are due September 18, 2026. The official materials do not publish an exact closing clock time or time zone, so applicants should submit early rather than assume an end-of-day cutoff.
For the Nevada St. Rose Dominican hospital cluster, the published award range is $20,000 to $150,000. Priority needs are Access to Care, Social Determinants of Health including housing, food security, and transportation, and Chronic Disease.
Eligible applicants are IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, or organizations using a qualifying 501(c)(3) fiscal agent, with projects that address the hospital community health priorities and serve vulnerable or underserved populations in the applicable hospital service area. Because every Nevada award is $20,000 or more, every Nevada request requires at least two collaborating partner organizations in addition to the applicant, with distinct, complementary roles. Partners may include nonprofits or public agencies such as health departments or school districts.
Important funding controls: equipment is limited to $5,000 per item, computer equipment to $2,500 per item, and total equipment to no more than 50% of the grant request. Indirect costs are capped at 10%. Unrestricted general operations, events, projects under nine months, capital projects, lobbying or political activity, and contracts for services are ineligible. No mandatory match or cost share is stated in the public program materials.
Application package: required uploads include the IRS 501(c)(3) determination letter, the March 2024 IRS W-9, a current board list, and the latest annual audit, review, or financial statement. The application also requires applicant and partner information, partner roles and attestations, community need and project summary, population and ZIP codes served, three-year sustainability, activities and outcomes, and an online line-item budget with other funding sources. Nevada’s local grant leader is Jennifer Trinkle.
N9+ Fit: 22/100, conditional. A limited equipment-based use case may exist inside an applicant-led access-to-care or chronic-disease project, but contracts for services are ineligible, equipment is tightly capped, and every Nevada request requires at least two collaborating partners. Atlas should not force N9+ into a proposal that cannot satisfy those rules.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 92/100. This remains a strong Southern Nevada community-health opportunity because of the $150,000 maximum award, explicit access-to-care, SDOH, and chronic-disease priorities, and fit with established nonprofit healthcare organizations. Dr. Miltie/QC Healthcare direct-applicant fit is 0/100 under the verified nonprofit rule; any vendor or partner role is limited and conditional.
