Purpose:

The State Council on Developmental Disabilities, in alignment with the goals of its 5-year state plan issues requests for proposals through Program Development Grants on a yearly basis. Successful grant projects are implemented by community-based organizations that research, develop and/or implement innovative programs and promising/best practices in communities throughout the state.

Description:

For federal fiscal year (FFY) 2025, the Council has designated a total amount of $300,000 to fund Cycle 47 projects in one or more of the following proposed topic areas: Health (Tribal), Self-Advocacy (Plain Language), and Self-Advocacy (Isolation). The Council understands that the final list of approved grant projects may not address all three (3) of the targeted topic areas. The Council will consider all proposal submissions and choose one (1) or more grant-funded projects (that combined) will not exceed the full $300,000 budgeted amount.

The Council is highly motivated in requesting proposals from qualified candidates. Please read the Cycle 47 Grant Guidelines carefully and include information in this application that will fully meet all of the stated requirements.
