Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 91/100. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit 78/100. Flexible rural community funding can support health-access and related applicant-led projects, but the program is not a direct technology procurement and does not itself establish N9+ allowability. Any N9+ role must be justified within an eligible applicant's verified project and budget.
The Neil and Louise Tillotson Fund Large Grants Program is accepting rolling applications in 2026 for projects benefiting residents of Coos County, New Hampshire, and eligible neighboring communities that share a border with Coos County.
Funding
Large Grants range from $20,000 to $300,000 over one, two, or three years and may support projects, unrestricted or operating support, and capital expenses, subject to the program rules.
Deadline
Applications are rolling, with final 2026 submissions due October 15, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Eligibility and Priorities
Eligible organizations include qualifying nonprofits, tax-exempt public agencies, municipalities, and schools, with fiscal sponsorship available in qualifying circumstances. The Fund supports community well-being and economic vitality in the North Country, including health care access, behavioral health, early childhood and youth systems, essential needs, and related community priorities. Public K-12 requests are more restricted and generally should not seek routine operations, curriculum, capital projects, staffing, administration, or programs; certain one-time or extracurricular activities may be considered.
Application Process
A pre-application consultation with Tillotson Fund staff is required before submission. Applicants then apply through GrantSource.
Atlas Assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 91/100. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 78/100. This is a strong applicant-led rural health and community-access funding opportunity because of its flexible project and capital support and its explicit health and well-being priorities. It is not a direct Dr. Miltie procurement and does not specifically prioritize telehealth, RPM, or medical equipment, so any N9+ role must be justified within the applicant’s verified project and allowable budget.
From Funding to Implementation · School Health Solution
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.
