The Washington State Developmental Disabilities Council (DDC) is accepting proposals for the Developmental Disabilities Community Advocacy Coalition (DD-CAC). The budget for this project is $98,000 per year for two years, with an opportunity to be extended on a yearly basis through September 2031.
The contractor will provide coordination, facilitation, and capacity building support for the DD-CAC so members can work together to develop a community driven policy agenda, strengthen leadership pathways, expand participation, and engage in effective advocacy.
The contractor will support coalition operations, member engagement, communication tools, leadership development, policy agenda creation, and year-round community action activities. This work will emphasize accessibility, equity, and meaningful participation of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.
We strongly encourage potential applicants to register for a WEBs account, which is Washington State’s Solicitation Management System, and to download the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) directly from WEBs. While a PDF of the NOFO is included below, applicants should use WEBs when preparing and submitting proposals. You may access the solicitation through the WEBs link provided below.
Proposals are due by Thursday, July 30, 2026, at 4:59 p.m. PDT. If you have questions, contact Kevin Vargas at kevin.vargas@ddc.wa.gov.
