Council Grant Programs
Travel and Sponsorships
The Consumer Education Fund: Grants may be made to assist individuals with disabilities and their families to attend meetings, conferences and workshops held around the country and in Tennessee. These opportunities empower individuals with disabilities and their families to become advocates and take control of their lives.
The Council may sponsor Tennessee conferences to assist with the expenses of people with disabilities and their families to attend. For an application form, click here.
