Grants Program
Our Grants Program supports the mission and core values of the Council. U.S. Congress provides grant and operating funds to councils in every state and sets the requirements for how those funds can be used. MiDDC develops a five-year strategic plan with input from self-advocates, family members, partners, committees, and the general public to determine how to use the grant funding. Grants are awarded on a competitive basis.
MiDDC grantees target changes in:
1. The system. Our grants focus on changing the way services and supports are provided, including everyday services anyone in the community might receive.
2. The community. Our grants focus on changing attitudes, awareness, acceptance, and inclusion of people with developmental disabilities.
3. The lives of people with I/DD. Our grants focus on changes to help people with I/DD take charge of their own lives, and they provide support for people with I/DD to live, work, play, and participate in inclusive communities.
