The Floyd County Community Foundation 2026 grant cycle supports charitable projects benefiting Floyd County, Iowa. The cycle opened September 1, 2026 and applications are due October 15, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. The current Foundation guidance does not state a time zone. Requests must be between $1,000 and $15,000.
Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and government entities that benefit Floyd County. Other tax-exempt organizations may be eligible when the proposed project is charitable, subject to Foundation confirmation. Applicants must be current with state and federal reporting requirements and have no past-due reports for previously awarded grants. Qualified fiscal sponsorship is permitted, with the fiscal sponsor legally and financially responsible for awarded funds. Health & Safety is an express impact priority.
Key restrictions include one application per organization, with stated exceptions for government entities and fiscal sponsors; government entities and schools may submit only one application per department. General operating costs are not eligible, and salary, wages, and benefits may not be included in the Foundation request. Political activity or lobbying, debt repayment, endowment contributions, re-granting, and expenses incurred before grant notification are not eligible. Applicants must use the Foundation’s linked Budget Template and provide a detailed request budget.
Review criteria include organizational capability, feasibility, community need and outcomes, collaboration, and the ability to secure or leverage other funding or in-kind support. The guidelines do not impose a fixed mandatory match percentage, but matching or leveraged support is a funding priority. Applications are submitted through CFNEIA’s online grant management system.
Atlas assessment: This is a strong Iowa community-health opportunity for qualified Floyd County nonprofit and governmental healthcare, public-health, EMS, and community organizations because Health & Safety is an express priority. N9+ fit is conditional only and must be established from an applicant-specific need, allowable project, budget, procurement requirements, and credible service-delivery design. Ordinary ORIGINAL outreach must not introduce or sell N9+. Dr. Miltie/QC Healthcare direct applicant opportunity: FALSE.
