Opportunity Overview
The Wood & Marie C Hannah Foundation is a Louisville-based private foundation that accepts unsolicited requests from charitable organizations. Current IRS-derived filing data reports recurring submission deadlines of April 1 and October 1. Atlas therefore treats October 1, 2026 as the next controlling date. The filing does not publish an exact cutoff clock time or time zone.
Eligibility and Application
The Foundation’s filed application instructions call for a letter that includes verification of 501(c)(3) status. The filing reports no stated restrictions by geography, charitable field, institution type, or other factor. Actual giving is strongly concentrated in Kentucky, particularly Louisville-area organizations, so applicant-specific fit should still be demonstrated rather than assumed.
Funding
No universal applicant award ceiling or mandatory match requirement is published in the current filing data. Recent IRS-derived grant data shows awards commonly in the low five figures, but historical awards are context only and are not a 2026 cap or entitlement.
Healthcare and Equipment Relevance
Recent reported grants include support for Baptist Health Foundation, Green Hill Therapy, Special Olympics Kentucky health programming, Visually Impaired Preschool Services technology equipment, and other Kentucky human-services organizations. This creates a credible healthcare and equipment pathway for a qualifying nonprofit, but the Foundation does not publish a dedicated medical-device or telehealth program. Any N9+ concept must be applicant-led, charitable, necessary to the proposed project, and defensible under the Foundation’s unrestricted charitable framework.
Atlas Assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 84/100. N9+ Fit: 48/100 conditional. QC Healthcare Fit: 58/100 conditional. The opportunity is attractive because it accepts unsolicited requests and has recent Kentucky healthcare and equipment-adjacent giving. Original outreach remains on verification hold until an eligible applicant, verified business contact, current mailing instructions, exact deadline cutoff information when available, opt-out/bounce status, and authoritative deduplication are confirmed.
Submission and Next Action
Prepare an applicant-specific letter only after verifying current 501(c)(3) status, the proposed charitable project, requested amount, current submission address, and all Atlas outreach gates. Unresolved applicant facts must remain ACCOUNT INPUT REQUIRED. Do not infer an email address or create an outreach queue record from foundation contact patterns.
