Notice of Request for Proposals for Self AdvocacyThe Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD) is pleased to announce the availability of a total of $100,000 in federal funds under provisions of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (DD Act)(P.L. 106-402) to expand and strengthen self advocacy in Minnesota. Proposals are being sought from nonstate agencies or organizations. The GCDD will award a single statewide grant of $100,000. Proposals must include support of local self advocacy groups at the grassroots level in the Twin Cities metropolitan area and Greater Minnesota, strengthen existing groups and help develop new self advocacy groups where currently there are no groups, provide learning and teaching opportunities for self advocates to improve their leadership skills, and expand their participation in cross-disability and culturally diverse coalitions. Funding is available for a one-year period. Continuation funding is dependent upon the availability of federal funds, satisfactory performance of the contractor(s), and any changes in the DD Act resulting from Congressional reauthorization. Application deadline is Monday, May 21, 2012 at 3:00 p.m. Please note: The GCDD reserves the right reject all proposals.
