Open Nevada opportunity. The Raiders Foundation is accepting applications for its 2026 Fall Impact Grant Cycle. The Fall cycle opened September 1, 2026 at 9:00 AM PT and closes September 30, 2026 at 5:00 PM PT.
Funding: Impact Grants are program grants ranging from $2,500 to $25,000. The three published investment areas are Military and Veterans, Health and Wellness, and Youth Development. The Health and Wellness area supports initiatives that positively impact social determinants of health.
Eligibility: an applicant must be an IRS registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit for at least three years, benefit Nevada residents, maintain a physical location in Nevada, and be actively registered with the Nevada Secretary of State. Schools and youth football development programs are ineligible. An organization is also ineligible if it received monetary support from the Raiders or Raiders Foundation during the prior 12 months, including grants, event sponsorships, or other monetary donations. In kind donations such as autographed items or game tickets do not trigger that exclusion.
Allowable purpose and restrictions: requests must be for programmatic purposes and align with at least one published investment area. Event sponsorships are ineligible. Published restrictions also exclude religious causes, personal pursuits, discriminatory organizations, partisan political organizations or candidates, and advertising or promotional campaigns. No match or cost share requirement is stated in the published grant guidelines or visible application form.
Submission and required information: applications must be submitted online through the Raiders Foundation application link. Requests by email, mail, fax, or phone are not accepted. Applicants must complete the application in full and provide all requested attachments, including the organization’s most recent Form 990. Organizations that file Form 990-N must also provide board approved financial statements for the last fiscal year. The online form requires organization identity and tax information, NTEE code, mission statement, organization and requester contacts, principal individuals and board members, project title, amount requested, project budget, and annual operating budget. The requester email is verified by a code sent during the application process. Only one request may be submitted per grant cycle.
N9+ Fit: 78/100, conditional. The Health and Wellness investment area creates a plausible programmatic pathway for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform within an otherwise eligible Nevada nonprofit project, but the Foundation’s published materials do not specifically establish technology, equipment, device, or platform cost allowability. Atlas will not force fit or advance applicant outreach without organization level eligibility and project allowability support.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 88/100. This is a current Nevada focused grant program with an explicit Health and Wellness investment area, a verified $25,000 maximum award, and a clearly defined application window. The principal constraints are the nonprofit history requirement, the prior Raiders monetary support exclusion, the school exclusion, and the lack of explicit device or equipment allowability.
