Atlas Opportunity Score88/100

FundingDVMF anticipates $211,930 in FY27 program funding. The NOFA's main funding specification and application field state requests may not exceed $21,190, but Section 2 contains an inconsistent $12,000 maximum; applicants should obtain DVMF clarification before budgeting.

DeadlineOctober 2, 2026 by 3:00 PM; the NOFA does not state a timezone. The mandatory September 10 Technical Assistance call has ended; attendance at that call was required to be considered for funding.

Required next actionThe mandatory September 10 Technical Assistance call has ended. Only organizations that attended that required session should continue preparing a direct FY27 application unless DVMF publishes a formal exception or reopening. Eligible attendees should resolve the NOFA's conflicting $21,190 versus $12,000 request ceilings using any clarification issued during or after the call, verify Maryland-based 501(c)(3) status and ADI accreditation or PATH/EAGALA eligibility, prepare two current signed Letters of Support, evidence-based need/outcomes, evaluation tool, budget and online application, and submit by October 2, 2026 at 3:00 PM. The NOFA does not state a timezone for the application cutoff.
