Opportunity Overview
The Los Alamos Public Schools Foundation is accepting 2026-27 Wellness Grant applications in support of student and staff wellness across Los Alamos Public Schools. Any LAPS employee may apply.
Funding and Eligibility
Approved Wellness Grant requests may receive up to $500 per site per school year until budgeted funding runs out. The Foundation does not state a mandatory match or cost share requirement.
Eligible Focus
Proposals should fit physical fitness, mindfulness or stress management, morale, creativity or fun, or another clearly explained wellness category. The Foundation encourages ideas that strengthen positive school culture, connectedness, resiliency, and engagement. Published examples include student wellness activities, mental health or mindfulness events, team building, morale activities, and new hobbies or sports. Wellness grants are not intended to continue funding programs already in place.
Application Requirements
The online form requires a project title, funding amount, applicant and school site information, estimated staff and student impact, contact information, category, proposal overview, itemized budget, impact narrative, acceptance of terms, supervisor approval, and electronic signature. Recipients must provide a testimonial and photo within 30 days after the funds are spent.
Deadline and Submission
Applications are submitted through the live LAPS Foundation Wellness Grant form. The 2026-27 program opened August 1, 2026. There is no fixed application deadline; applications remain available until the budgeted funding for the period is allocated.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 55/100. The program is verified, open, simple to apply for, and relevant to school wellness, but the $500 ceiling substantially limits project scale.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The published program is a small employee led wellness grant and does not establish a legitimate clinical examination, telehealth, medical device, or healthcare procurement role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform. Fit is not forced.
Dr. Miltie/QC direct applicant status: No Bid. Eligibility is limited to LAPS employees.
