Description
The Nebraska Council on Developmental Disabilities (NCDD) is offering a one‑year self‑advocacy subaward to eligible non‑profit, higher‑education, tribal, or local‑government entities that will design and implement innovative projects that increase self‑advocacy skills, leadership, and influence for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Applicants must submit a cover sheet, organizational overview, detailed work plan, and budget narrative by the October 26, 2026 deadline. The subaward amount is limited to $25,000 (maximum) with a required 25 % non‑federal match, and all reporting must be completed through the DD Suite system on a quarterly basis. Preference is given to organizations serving rural, poverty‑area, or culturally diverse populations, and projects must demonstrate sustainability beyond the award period.
• Eligible entities: local governments, Indian tribes, colleges/universities, and non‑profits (no for‑profits or individuals).
• Funding: up to $25,000 (max) with a minimum 25 % match; prohibited costs include capital expenditures, alcohol, lobbying, and routine operating expenses.
• Deliverables: quarterly program and expenditure reports, KPI tracking, final narrative, and at least four hard copies of any publications for the Nebraska Library Commission.
