Families Supporting Families: Two Grant Options Available
The Wisconsin Board for People with Developmental Disabilities (BPDD) and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) want to strengthen their partnerships with Wisconsin’s underreached communities, including communities of color and communities who speak Spanish or Hmong, to better support families who have school-aged children with intellectual or developmental disabilities.
We are offering two grant options. You can only apply for one. Both options aim to launch or expand efforts to support children with disabilities and families. Activities might include bringing families together for workshops, resource-sharing, and individual support.
Grant Option 1:
- We will award up to (8) grants of up to $20,000 each.
- If your organization will mostly serve local families, apply for this option.
Grant Option 2:
- We will award up to one (1) grant of up to $40,000.
- If your organization will mostly serve geographically dispersed families, apply for this option.
The additional funds will be used to cover costs for overnights, day-long retreats, and transportation that allow families who live around the state to gather.
Applications are due October 9, 2026, by 5:00pm.
