Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities Announces New Funding Opportunity
The Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities has released a new Call for Investment “Consumer Stipend Program”. The purpose of this CFI is to identify an organization that can effectively and efficiently administer the Council’s Consumer Stipend Program.
The goal of the Consumer Stipend Program is to empower individuals with developmental disabilities and their family members with opportunities, experiences, resources and information they need to actively participate in the decisions that are being made which affect their lives. To assist in reaching this goal of empowerment, the Council provides financial assistance for people with developmental disabilities, their family members or their guardians to participate in conferences, workshops and short- term training programs.

The Council is also using a new web-based system called DD Suite for entities to access and apply for this funding opportunity. Information on how to view and apply for this CFI can be found on our website at www.state.il.us/agency/icdd. An informational session will be held on June 7, 2011 in Chicago to review DD Suite and answer questions about the process and the CFI.
For questions about the CFI or DD Suite, please contact Jennifer Harrison at 217-782-9696 or jennifer.harrison@illinois.gov.
