Required next actionConfirm the controlling 2026 deadline directly with NDCF because the official page conflicts between September 28 and September 25; then confirm Stanley-area service, define the healthcare or school-health project, verify any proposed equipment or technology costs with NDCF, and submit through the NDCF Grant Portal before the confirmed cutoff.
