The Jaspers Family Foundation Fund of Worth County 2026 grant cycle supports charitable projects benefiting Worth County, Iowa. The cycle opened September 1 and applications are due October 15, 2026 at 5:00 p.m.. The controlling guidelines do not state a time zone, so applicants should not infer one. The minimum request is $1,000; the 2026 guidelines do not publish a universal maximum request amount.
Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and government entities serving Worth County. Certain other tax-exempt organizations may be eligible if the project is deemed charitable, and qualified fiscal sponsorship is permitted. Applicants must be current with state and federal reporting and have no past-due grant reports. Political activity or lobbying, debt repayment, endowment contributions, re-granting, and expenses incurred before award notification are ineligible.
Health & Safety is an express impact priority. The Foundation also prioritizes projects that demonstrate community need, broad support, collaboration, organizational capacity, sustainability, and the ability to leverage funding from other sources. The guidelines do not impose a fixed mandatory match percentage, but budgets should show secured or pending outside funding and any matching support. Capital projects involving fixed structures must be located in Worth County. Applicants must use the current Foundation budget template and submit through CFNEIA’s online grant management system.
Atlas assessment: Atlas Opportunity Score 84/100. N9+ Fit Score 64/100 conditional. A healthcare, public-health, EMS, senior-care, or other eligible Worth County organization could present a credible Health & Safety project if it can document community need and confirm that the proposed technology or equipment is allowable, reasonable, and properly procured. The Foundation does not expressly name telehealth, remote-exam technology, or N9+, so no such cost should be assumed eligible without applicant-specific verification. Dr. Miltie direct application: FALSE.
