This opportunity, administered by the Nebraska Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) through the Nebraska Council on Developmental Disabilities (NCDD), funds projects that enhance the self-advocacy skills, leadership, and community inclusion of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) in Nebraska. The grant seeks to support organizations in developing and implementing initiatives such as leadership gatherings, advocacy training, and community-based inclusion activities, with an emphasis on sustainable systems change and measurable outcomes.
