Morgan Wilkie Fund Fall 2026
The Emporia Community Foundation is accepting fall 2026 applications to the Morgan Wilkie Fund, which supports the proper care and comfort of elders, women, and children in Emporia and Lyon County, Kansas. Grants are awarded to nonprofit organizations and cannot be made to individuals.
Deadline: October 1, 2026 at 5:00 PM. The controlling official sources do not state a time zone.
Eligibility and geography: Applicants must be nonprofit organizations. The Fund is focused on the care and comfort of elders, women, and children in Emporia and Lyon County, Kansas.
Funding: Current 2026 controlling sources do not publish a universal individual award ceiling or total fall-cycle pool, and the application does not state a mandatory match requirement. The $3,000 Morgan Wilkie request shown in the sample budget is expressly illustrative and is not treated by Atlas as an award cap.
Application requirements: Use the official cover sheet and provide the required project description, organization mission, narrative responses, one-page project budget, current operating budget, list of officers and board members, and the most recent annual report, financial statement, investments and endowed funds. The narrative asks applicants to address need, Fund-purpose alignment, number served, available resources and partners, likelihood of success, measurement and sustainability, timeline, and other funding sources approached.
Submission: Email the full proposal to emporiacf@emporiacf.org by 5:00 PM on October 1, 2026, or mail/deliver it to Emporia Community Foundation, 527 Commercial Street, Suite B, Emporia, KS 66801. The application does not state a time zone.
Healthcare relevance: The Fund has a broad social-service purpose rather than a healthcare-only mandate, but its beneficiary population and public history support legitimate health-related consideration where an eligible nonprofit has a documented local need. Project-specific allowability still controls.
N9+ Fit Score: 10/100 conditional. N9+ should not be force-fit into this opportunity. A potential role exists only where an eligible local nonprofit has a truthful need for remote physical examination, guided exams, vitals, or telehealth-enabled clinical encounters and the current application confirms the proposed expense is allowable.
Direct-vendor review: Dr. Miltie is not being advanced as a direct applicant. Any pursuit should be applicant-led through an eligible local nonprofit.
Controlling sources: Emporia Community Foundation Available Grants, ECF Calendar, Funds of the Foundation, and the Morgan Wilkie Fund 2026 Grant Application.
