Notice of Funds Available (NOFA) are competitive grant opportunities. A NOFA is like a Request for Proposals (RFP). When a NOFA is issued by GCDD, we will post a notice on our website and on the DD Suite Grant Application website.

There are currently two NOFAs available:

Implementation of Training Modules for Georgia as a Model Employer (GAME)

The Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD), in collaboration with the State ADA Coordinator’s Office, is seeking proposals to design, develop, and implement comprehensive virtual training modules that support Georgia’s efforts to become a Model Employer of individuals with disabilities. This initiative is aligned with the legislative and policy framework established under Georgia’s GAME initiative (24 LC 36 56644; SB 384) and seeks to empower state agencies to foster inclusive employment practices.

The selected contractor will be responsible for creating and delivering four dynamic, virtual training modules tailored to HR directors, managers, supervisors, ADA coordinators, legal officers, and executive leadership within state agencies. The modules will focus on enhancing understanding, compliance, and capacity-building to meet GAME’s objectives, including a cultural shift toward inclusion and adherence to state and federal regulations.

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

  • Applications due by January 1, 2025

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
