Opportunity Overview
The Colstrip Impacts Foundation, administered through the Montana Community Foundation, offers an ongoing set of grants intended to support the Colstrip community as it responds to economic change. Applications are reviewed quarterly.
Current Deadline
The next quarterly review deadline is September 30, 2026. The controlling public program page does not publish an exact closing clock time or time zone. Additional recurring review dates are March 31, June 30, and December 31.
Funding Tracks
Four tracks are available: Tax Base Supplement Grant, Economic Development Grant, Nonprofit Grant, and Worker Support Grant. Eligibility and allowable uses vary by track. The public program page does not publish a universal award ceiling.
Nonprofit Track
The nonprofit track may fund general support and operating expenses for qualifying organizations located in Colstrip or within 10 miles of city limits. Eligible projects should address community or economic issues, leverage other support, use creative approaches, or support innovative community or economic development. The Foundation states it will not fund organizations outside the eligible geography, organizations without other investments, religious or sectarian programs, or one-time events.
Healthcare Relevance
This is a broad community and economic-development program rather than a healthcare grant. A qualifying Colstrip-area nonprofit or taxing district with a legitimate health or human-services need could evaluate the relevant track, but the current authoritative guidance does not establish a specific telehealth, medical-device, or clinical-services funding pathway.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 52/100. This is an ongoing Colstrip-area community and economic-development funding program with track-specific eligibility and quarterly review dates. Its health and school relevance is indirect and applicant-specific.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. Atlas has not identified a supported role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform under the current published guidance.
Dr. Miltie/QC direct fit: 0/100. No current authoritative source establishes a direct-vendor opportunity for Dr. Miltie or QC Healthcare.
Next Action
Maintain this as verified Montana grant intelligence. Organizations considering an application should select the correct funding track, confirm track-specific eligibility and allowable costs, and use the Montana Community Foundation online grant portal. Atlas should not initiate N9+ outreach unless a later authoritative update creates a legitimate healthcare technology pathway.
