Opportunity Overview
The Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley General Grant supports eligible organizations serving residents of Mahoning and Trumbull Counties, Ohio. The program has no single narrow priority area and can support qualifying community needs, including legitimate healthcare, education and school-serving projects.
Funding and Deadline
Funding is typically available up to $10,000 and may support general operating needs or specific programs and projects. The 2026 application deadline for the current cycle is October 15, 2026. The official public guidance does not publish a closing clock time or time zone, so Atlas does not infer one.
Eligibility
CFMV states that eligible grantees include organizations deemed not-for-profit by the IRS, including 501(c)(3) organizations, religious organizations, schools and government entities. Organizations without their own qualifying IRS status may apply through a fiscal sponsor. Proposed work must serve the Mahoning Valley and satisfy the current portal eligibility requirements.
Application Materials
Applications are submitted through the CFMV online grant portal. CFMV states that grant applications must include a current annual budget, year-to-date income statement and board-member list. If the organization has been audited, a copy of the management letter from the most recent audited financial statements is also required. Applicants must review the current Grantseeker Guide and portal requirements before submission.
Cost Share
No fixed mandatory match percentage is published for this grant. CFMV states generally that it usually does not provide more than half of a project or initiative total cost, so applicants should confirm project financing expectations and identify truthful leveraged support where applicable.
Atlas Fit Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 76/100. The program is broadly accessible to eligible Mahoning Valley nonprofits, schools and public entities and can support healthcare and education work, though it is not limited to those sectors.
N9+ Fit Score: 15/100, conditional. The public guidance does not identify telehealth, remote examination or clinical equipment as a funding priority. Any technology role must arise from a genuine applicant-led project and confirmed allowable-cost treatment.
