Maryland Healthcare Initiative Foundation — FY27 Fall Health Access & Equity Grant Cycle

Healthcare Initiative Foundation’s FY27 Fall cycle will open October 1 and close October 15, 2026 for qualifying Montgomery County health nonprofits. HIF funds healthcare access and health-equity work for underinsured, uninsured and low-income residents, and attendance at a September 9, 18 or 24 FY27 orientation session is required for application eligibility.

FundingCurrent FY27 Fall materials do not publish a universal per-award ceiling or total cycle pool. Historical context only: HIF reports more than $1.15 million awarded across 39 organizations in FY26; that does not establish FY27 award sizes.

DeadlineOctober 15, 2026 at 5:00 PM; HIF labels the published time EST. Portal scheduled to open October 1, 2026 at 8:00 AM. Required FY27 orientation sessions are September 9, September 18 and September 24.

Required next actionComplete one required FY27 Fall orientation before applying. The first session is September 9, 2026; if that session is missed, HIF also offers September 18 and September 24 sessions, and HIF states that viewing the recorded September 18 training counts as attendance. Confirm 501(c)(3) healthcare-nonprofit status and Montgomery County program/service fit; contact HIF promptly if a site visit is needed; review the application and required financial/compliance materials in advance; and submit through the portal after it opens October 1 and before October 15, 2026 at 5:00 PM.
