An organization may only receive and be a sponsor for ONE Partnership Fund per fiscal year. Partnership Fund applications will be evaluated and approved by the Advocacy and Information Committee or designee thereof. The Council reserves the right to deny any applications as they see fit. Alternative formats are available upon request. Applications for grants should be submitted at least 30 days prior to the event.
Eligible participants are people with developmental disabilities and their families.
Council Members and Council Staff are not eligible for Partnership Funds. Organizations applying for Partnership Funds must have an active Federal Employer Identification Number. Eligible sponsors include corporations, non-profit organizations, and state agencies. Due to the limited funding for this program, the Council awards grants based on a quarterly budget. Applications should be for events taking place within six months.
