Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities Releases New Call for Investment
The Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities has released a new Call for Investment (CFI). The purpose of this CFI is to identify an organization or a collaboration of organizations that can effectively and efficiently administer a Consumer Stipend Program. The goal of the Consumer Stipend Program is to empower individuals with intellectual & developmental disabilities and their family members with resources and information they need to actively participate in the decisions that are being made which affect their lives. Many policy, procedure, and program decisions affecting the lives of people with intellectual & developmental disabilities are made without the involvement of the people who are most affected by those decisions. This is a 3 year grant with $300,000 available to distribute stipends to individuals with intellectual & developmental disabilities and families/guardians. The outcome is that individuals with intellectual & developmental disabilities and families/guardians become better advocates. Proposals are due July 14, 2015.
