*Funding amounts are subject to change, as Vendor Fee allocations are received monthly and are dependent on sales tax proceeds. DOH will confirm how much funding will be made available with each application cycle upon publication of LOIs.

**DOH is publishing this anticipated calendar through June 2025 to allow applicants to begin planning. However, this calendar and application amounts are subject to change due to changes to projected funding amounts or changes in policy. Any changes will be communicated ASAP, and a revised calendar for January - June will be published by November 1, 2024, if needed.
