Opportunity Summary
The Walhalla Area Community Foundation, a component fund of the North Dakota Community Foundation, accepts applications annually from July 1 through October 1. The current controlling page states that the process opens July 1 and closes October 1 each year, making the 2026 round open as of this verification. The public materials do not publish a solicitation number, a 2026 funding pool, a per-applicant ceiling, an exact October 1 closing clock time, or a deadline time zone.
Eligibility
Eligible applicants are organizations designated as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations or government agencies that qualify in the city of Walhalla, North Dakota.
Funding and Match
The Foundation’s August 2026 Annual Update reports a June 30, 2026 market value of $257,804 and confirms that the fund awarded $7,920 across two grants in 2025, but it does not state the amount available for the 2026 grant round. The reviewed public guidance does not state a mandatory match or cost-share requirement.
Allowable Costs and Submission Rules
The controlling Walhalla page does not publish a detailed allowable-cost schedule, excluded-cost list, or a grant-specific mandatory forms and attachments checklist. Applicants should therefore not assume that clinical equipment, telehealth technology, software, subscriptions, installation, training, or other N9+ costs are eligible without confirmation from NDCF.
Applicants review the local guidelines, register in the North Dakota Community Foundation Grants Portal using the organization’s name, EIN, executive officer’s name, username/email and password, then select the Walhalla grant program and complete the online application. The live portal controls any required fields and uploads.

Healthcare and School Relevance
North Border School District is a realistic government-agency applicant with its district office and Walhalla PK-12 school in Walhalla. The fund previously awarded North Border School District – Walhalla $2,500 for a playground project in 2022. Pembilier Nursing Center / Walhalla Community Hospital Association is a realistic healthcare candidate subject to confirming the applying legal entity’s current 501(c)(3) status. The fund previously awarded Walhalla Community Hospital Association $3,742.20 for a Pembilier Nursing Center whirlpool replacement in 2021 and $3,600 toward a handicapped-accessible van for Pembilier Nursing Center in 2019.
Atlas Assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 64/100. N9+ Fit Score: 25/100. The opportunity is verified open, local eligibility is straightforward, and both school and healthcare precedent exist. However, the 2026 pool and award ceiling are not published and recent award sizes have been modest, so a full N9+ deployment should not be forced. A tightly scoped applicant-led school-health, nursing, rehabilitation, or telehealth-support item could be considered only after NDCF confirms the specific cost is allowable. North Border School District applicant fit is 96/100. Pembilier Nursing Center applicant fit is 92/100 subject to current applicant-entity eligibility confirmation. Dr. Miltie/QC Healthcare direct-applicant fit is 0/100; any role should be vendor/implementation partner only.
Amendments: No amendment changing the annual October 1 deadline was identified in the reviewed controlling materials.
