Opportunity Overview
The Mt. Sinai Health Foundation is accepting proposals for its next Greater Cleveland grant cycle. The Foundation currently focuses its grantmaking on Equitable Health Outcomes, Health Policy, Academic Medicine & Bioscience, and Health of the Jewish Community. For Equitable Health Outcomes and Health Policy, current guidance emphasizes prevention, detection and early intervention, often through increased access to comprehensive health services.
Deadline and Funding
The next proposal deadline is October 1, 2026. The current public guidance does not publish a closing clock time or time zone, so Atlas does not infer either. The Foundation does not publish a current per-award minimum, maximum, or total October 2026 funding pool.
Eligibility
Applicants must be organizations classified by the IRS as 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations, and funded projects must serve Greater Cleveland. Individuals and organizations lacking qualifying 501(c)(3) status are not eligible under the public guidance. The Foundation asks prospective applicants to contact a Mt. Sinai program officer before submitting a request.
Funding Priorities and Restrictions
Current Equitable Health Outcomes and Health Policy guidance highlights prevention, detection, early intervention, access to care providers and insurance coverage, health outcomes research and evaluation, health education and literacy, and school-based health as stronger-alignment examples. The Foundation expressly states that it generally will not fund general operating expenses, direct provision of health services, building or equipment expenses or capital campaigns, projects outside Greater Cleveland, endowment funds, fundraising events, program advertising, or scholarships.
No mandatory match or cost-share percentage is published. Review criteria do, however, consider the potential to leverage other resources and evidence of board commitment, leadership, engagement and financial support; those criteria should not be treated as a fixed match requirement.
Application and Required Materials
Applications are submitted through the Foundation’s online grant application portal. The current Apply page links its grant application questions and required resource forms. That linked application resource requires a project budget using the Foundation template and a budget narrative. Required organizational attachments listed there include a current board roster with business affiliations, a list of financial contributors from the prior 12 months, and the most recent audited financial statements; if an audit has not been completed in the past two years, the resource permits the most recent Form 990 or financial statements reviewed by an independent accountant. Where partnerships are proposed, the application resource asks for letters of support and/or consultant scopes of work. Applicant-controlled facts and documents must come from the applicant and should not be fabricated by Atlas.
Contact and Amendments
Portal/account assistance is available at grants@mtsinaifoundation.org. The Foundation’s general contact number is 216-421-5500. No separate amendment or addendum affecting the October 1, 2026 deadline was identified on the current official Apply page.
Atlas Fit Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 70/100. This is a verified, open Greater Cleveland health-focused funding opportunity with clear nonprofit eligibility and current application resources, but no current award range is publicly stated and several common healthcare project expenses are excluded.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The Foundation expressly excludes equipment expenses, so Atlas should not position the Nonagon N9+ device and platform in this opportunity. Dr. Miltie/QC Healthcare is also not a direct eligible applicant because the public guidance limits grants to qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations. No recipient outreach is recommended unless a separate, legitimate applicant-led non-equipment role is independently established and confirmed allowable.
Verification basis: Mt. Sinai Health Foundation current Apply page, current linked strategic refinement guidance, and current linked grant application questions resource; reverified September 12, 2026.
