Opportunity Summary
The Williston Area Community Foundation, affiliated with the North Dakota Community Foundation, is accepting applications for its 2026 grant round with a published application deadline of September 28, 2026. The controlling public page does not state an exact cutoff time or time zone, a solicitation number, a 2026 total funding pool, or a per-applicant maximum.
Eligibility and Geography
The foundation states that it distributes grants to benefit projects or nonprofit organizations in the Williston area. Applicants must review the fund’s grant guidelines and register in the NDCF Grant Portal using the organization’s name, EIN, executive officer name, and user credentials. The currently rendered public page does not expose a more detailed eligibility list or a grant-specific mandatory attachment checklist, so applicants should confirm current qualification requirements in the portal or with NDCF before submission.
Healthcare and Education Relevance
The fund has recent healthcare and community-service precedent. In 2025 it awarded $715 to Bethel Lutheran Nursing & Rehabilitation Center for A New Place to Call Home, $715 to Trinity Health Foundation for an infant hearing screener, and $1,500 to Stepping Stones Foundation for senior mental-health awareness. In 2024 it awarded $1,840 to CHI Health Connect at Home for a hospice program. Prior awards have also supported child advocacy, counseling, youth programs, and community services.
N9+ and Applicant Fit
Atlas assigns an N9+ Fit Score of 18/100 and an Atlas Opportunity Score of 61/100. The low N9+ score is intentional: the fund has healthcare-equipment precedent, but recent awards are generally small and the public page does not establish that telehealth or remote-exam technology costs are allowable. Bethel Lutheran Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is a realistic local healthcare applicant because it is a current Williston skilled-care, basic-care, assisted-living, rehabilitation, respite, and independent-living provider and received a grant from this fund in 2025.
Funding and Deadline
The 2026 total pool and per-applicant ceiling are not published on the controlling page. Recent listed awards range from hundreds to several thousand dollars. Applications are due September 28, 2026, but the exact clock time and time zone are not published, so Atlas outreach remains held under the 48-hour exact-deadline rule.
Direct Vendor Review
Dr. Miltie, LLC / QC Healthcare is not being advanced as a direct applicant. Any potential role would need to be under an eligible local applicant and only after NDCF confirms the proposed vendor and technology costs are allowable. Given the modest historical award sizes, Atlas is not creating applicant-level CRM or attachment-package noise for this opportunity at this stage.
Atlas Next Step
For a healthcare applicant such as Bethel Lutheran Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, confirm the exact 2026 eligibility rules, current award ceiling, allowable costs, required attachments, and exact September 28 submission cutoff with NDCF before developing a project request.
