Opportunity overview
Hudson Community Foundation is accepting applications for its second 2026 competitive grant cycle. The Foundation supports nonprofit organizations working to meet community needs and enhance quality of life in Hudson, Ohio.
Eligibility
Eligible applicants are nonprofit charitable organizations classified under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and, in some cases, government agencies. Applicants must be located in or provide services to Hudson, Ohio. The Foundation generally accepts one grant request per 501(c)(3) organization per calendar year.
Current focus areas
The Foundation lists Art and Culture; Historical and Environmental Preservation; Social Services; Youth Education and Recreation; and Prevention and Addiction as current areas of interest. Atlas classifies the opportunity as healthcare and education relevant because Prevention and Addiction and Youth Education and Recreation can support appropriate community health, prevention, recovery, youth, or education projects.
Funding
The official public grant-cycle page does not publish a universal applicant award minimum or maximum for this cycle. Atlas does not infer one.
Deadline and submission
Applications for 2026 Grant Cycle #2 are due Wednesday, September 16, 2026 by 3:00 p.m. through the Hudson Community Foundation online grant portal. The official public page does not state a time zone, so Atlas does not infer one.
Application information
The online application asks for the project name, requested amount, project description, contact person, organizational mission and major programs, board listing, staff capacity, operating budget, EIN, project objectives and expected outcomes, population served, project start and end dates, project budget, additional funding sources, and a sustainability plan for ongoing or annual work. The public guidance does not state a mandatory match or cost-share requirement.
General exclusions
The Foundation lists religious organizations or events, private foundations, operating deficits or debt retirement, support to individuals, advertising, testimonial dinners, political organizations or campaigns, capital campaigns, and endowments among its general exclusions.
Atlas analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 58/100. N9+ Fit Score: 5/100. The opportunity is relevant to community health, prevention, addiction, and youth or education programming, but the official materials do not establish a telehealth, remote diagnostic, clinical-device, or QC Healthcare role. Atlas therefore does not force a Nonagon N9+ or direct-vendor fit. Dr. Miltie/QC Healthcare direct-vendor fit: 0/100. Because the controlling public page does not state the deadline time zone, Atlas does not authorize new cold applicant outreach unless that missing deadline element is authoritatively resolved.
