Verified open September 21, 2026. The Fremont Area Community Foundation is accepting applications for the Jim Gallant Hope Fund, a Nebraska grant opportunity supporting local nonprofit programs that restore hope and opportunity for vulnerable individuals.
Funding
Grants are available for up to $10,000 per application. The current public application asks whether other funds are secured or pending, but it does not state a mandatory match or cost-share requirement.
Eligibility and Priorities
Local nonprofit organizations may apply. The fund supports programs serving vulnerable individuals, with particular consideration for people with experience in foster care or the juvenile justice system, people who are unhoused or experiencing homelessness, and people facing significant life challenges without family support. The application states a preference for projects serving the Fremont and Dodge County area.
Application Requirements
The official application requests organization and primary-contact information, the amount requested, project or program name, a description of the request and population served, geographic area, project need, expected outcomes, a brief budget or use-of-funds description, project start and end dates, disclosure of other secured or pending funding, and applicant certification and signature. Completed applications may be submitted to the Fremont Area Community Foundation by email at info@facfoundation.org or by mail to 1005 E 23rd St., Suite 2, Fremont, NE 68025.
Deadline
Applications are accepted twice a year. The first application deadline is October 31, 2026. The official program page and application do not publish a closing clock time or time zone, so Atlas does not infer one.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 80/100. N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. QC Healthcare fit: 5/100 conditional. This is a credible local social-service funding opportunity and a strong fit for Atlas grant-package assistance where an eligible nonprofit has a qualifying direct-service project. The published program does not establish a defensible N9+ product role, and no direct Dr. Miltie or QC Healthcare applicant path is established.
Next Action
Identify a qualified local nonprofit with a current direct-service project, then independently verify applicant eligibility, organization facts, a legitimate business contact and email, Email Opt Out status, bounce history, and same-opportunity outreach history before any ORIGINAL outreach. Do not create applicant-controlled facts or commitments.
