SEEDS grants aid projects in Capacity Building
This unique opportunity supports innovative projects that increase community capacity to support Vermonters with developmental disabilities and family caregivers. SEEDS grants are nonrenewable awards that provide $10,000 to $15,000 in project support for up to one year. Seeds projects must:
- Support at least one goal or objective in VTDDC’s Five-Year Plan
- Be managed by a nonprofit entity
- Reflect the values of the federal DD Act – inclusion, productivity, independence, and self-determination.
VTDDC also places priority on projects that will improve the lives of people with developmental disabilities living in underserved rural areas of Vermont where there is significant poverty.
SEEDS grants are intended to “jump start” a new approach or to spread a new way of thinking about a disability issue.
Please note that there are additional requirements for demonstration projects.
