Initiative Funding
NCCDD seeks innovative solutions to enhance the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families. The initiatives should improve access to services and supports, encourage advocacy and promote systems change and capacity building.
NCCDD makes funds available in a variety of areas such as employment; education; leadership development; home and community living; and more in accordance with the federal DD Act and the Council's Five-Year State Plan. Its funds are made available primarily through competitive bids or Requests for Applications (RFAs). View our current Council initiatives.
An RFA is issued when the North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities (NCCDD) asks for proposals for initiatives that will help the Council achieve the goals outlined in its Five-Year State Plan.
