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 The public guidelines do not publish a closing clock time or time zone, and the applicant portal requires account access.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.
Broad Eligibility
501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organizations, schools, and government agencies whose projects benefit youth in Alcona, Alpena, Montmorency, or Presque Isle County; religious organizations may be considered only for nonsectarian public-serving projects. No grants are made to individuals.
Atlas Analysis
Formal Atlas Opportunity and N9+ scoring are deferred while the record remains on Verification Hold. CFNEM's current official NEMYAC guidance confirms a $2,500 maximum request per cycle, approximately $50,000 in annual youth grantmaking, October 15 and January 15 deadlines, eligible nonprofits plus schools and government agencies, and priority consideration for projects addressing youth mental health, stress, vaping/tobacco, hygiene, body image, and lack of activities. The live applicant portal remains behind account access, so its current required fields/uploads, form-specific certifications, and match/cost-share treatment have not been independently verified. Do not infer an unpublished deadline clock time or time zone.
Opportunity Overview
The Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan (CFNEM) administers Northeast Michigan Youth Advisory Council (NEMYAC) grants for youth-related programs and projects serving Alcona, Alpena, Montmorency, and Presque Isle Counties. The permanently endowed youth funds allow NEMYAC to award approximately $50,000 each year.
Funding and Deadline
Applicants may request up to $2,500 per application cycle. NEMYAC reviews applications twice each year, with deadlines of January 15 and October 15. The controlling public guideline does not publish an exact closing time or time zone. Applications are submitted through CFNEM’s online grants portal.
Eligibility
The published NEMYAC guideline requires the applicant organization to be recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization and to provide benefits to youth in Alcona, Alpena, Montmorency, or Presque Isle County. CFNEM’s broader Youth Advisory Council materials and historical awards also show local schools among grant recipients, so a public-school applicant should confirm the applicable organizational or fiscal-sponsor eligibility path with CFNEM before relying on historical practice.
Priority Youth Needs
Half of available funding is directed to programs or projects addressing youth needs identified through the local needs assessment. Current priority issues include depression and mental health, stress, vaping/smoking/tobacco use, hygiene, body image, and lack of local activities. CFNEM’s 2025 youth-needs assessment also identifies bullying, teen drug use, underage alcohol use, and family problems.
Atlas Strategic Analysis
Formal Atlas scoring is deferred pending completion of the authoritative verification gate.
N9+ fit scoring remains deferred while the record is on Verification Hold. NEMYAC is highly relevant to youth mental health, wellness, prevention, and education, but the $2,500 request ceiling and absence of an explicit telehealth/equipment rule make the Nonagon N9+ a weak primary fit. Atlas should not force N9+ into this opportunity. A smaller education, prevention, or youth-wellness service component could be considered only if a specific applicant and budget support it. Dr. Miltie, LLC is not an eligible prime applicant under the published 501(c)(3) requirement.
Verification Notes
No solicitation number, mandatory match/cost-share requirement, detailed vendor/procurement rule, exact deadline time, or time zone is stated in the controlling public guideline reviewed by Atlas. A grant agreement and final reporting are required for funded organizations.

Turn school-health funding into a clinically capable care model.
Dr. Miltie N9+ can support clinician-directed remote exams in school settings, helping care teams move beyond video-only encounters when a funded program calls for stronger pediatric access.
