Summary
This grant opportunity is administered through a state-level entity focused on improving access, inclusion, and quality of life for people with disabilities and the communities that support them. Funding is designed to help eligible applicants enhance services, programs, and initiatives that promote independence, participation, and equitable access to resources. Individual grant awards are generally modest in size, with funding amounts typically reaching up to approximately $15,000, depending on the scope and objectives of the proposed project.
The grants are primarily available to nonprofit organizations operating within the state, including community-based organizations and programs that serve individuals with disabilities. In certain cases, organizations affiliated with tribal governments or larger nonprofit entities may also be eligible. The funding is not intended for for-profit businesses or individual applicants acting independently. Applicants are expected to demonstrate a clear connection between their proposed activities and measurable improvements in quality of life for the populations they serve.
Funds may be used to support program expansion, accessibility improvements, purchase of specialized equipment, development of inclusive services, or implementation of projects that remove barriers and increase participation in community life. The emphasis is on practical, outcome-oriented use of funds rather than general operating expenses, administrative overhead, or ongoing staff salaries. Projects are typically required to show tangible benefits that can be achieved within a defined project period.
The grant opportunity is geographically limited to organizations serving residents within a specific state, with priority often given to initiatives that address unmet needs, serve underserved populations, or demonstrate strong community impact. While some projects may have localized focus, the broader intent is to support models and services that contribute to long-term improvements in accessibility, independence, and inclusion. Overall, this funding opportunity supports targeted efforts that strengthen community capacity and improve everyday outcomes for individuals with disabilities through thoughtful and responsible use of grant funds.
