<strong>Current phase:</strong> The September 16, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET Notice of Intent deadline has passed. The 2026-27 LINE Fund is closed to new applicants, but organizations that timely filed an NOI and received Submittable access may continue toward the October 14, 2026 full-application deadline. FDOE sources conflict on the October 14 cutoff time: the September 2 memorandum states 4:00 PM ET while the current FDOE webpage states 11:59 PM ET. Atlas uses 4:00 PM ET as the conservative control unless FDOE or Submittable resolves the conflict.
Required next actionOnly organizations that timely submitted the September 16, 2026 Notice of Intent and received Submittable access should continue. Confirm program performance eligibility, contributor and contribution documentation, and complete the 2026-27 LINE application in Submittable by October 14, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET.
Closed — 2026 application cycle ended September 23, 2026 at 3:00 PM; HCAI directs users to check back for the next cycle in August 2027.
