Family Advocates Coalition

The Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD), in collaboration with the State ADA Coordinator’s Office, is seeking proposals to lead our Family Advocates Coalition. The purpose of this Notice of Funds Available (NoFA) is to build a strong coalition of family advocates within Georgia. These family advocates will build on the foundation that is already provided to help keep educating families about how to navigate the disability community.

The Family Advocacy Coalition aims to support young families as they navigate the complexities of the disability service system. The coalition’s primary goal is to increase families' knowledge and understanding of the educational system in Georgia, while also connecting them to a broad range of services beyond education. This includes helping families understand and apply for waivers and other support programs.

A key focus will be on reaching out to historically marginalized communities within the disability community, ensuring that they have access to the resources and guidance they need. In addition to preparing families to navigate the educational system, the coalition will also equip them with the tools and confidence to advocate for their needs with local, state, and federal lawmakers.

This Request for Proposals will be governed by the following schedule of events:

  • Applications due by Jan 31, 2025
  • Contracts due by March 31, 2025
  • Project Begins April 1, 2025
