Capacity Building

3.1 Community-Driven Innovation

Supporting flexible, community-led projects that test new ideas and build lasting solutions to emerging needs.

What we plan to do

The Council will fund flexible, community-driven projects that address emerging issues and promote inclusion, accessibility, and quality of life for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and their families, with an emphasis on building lasting community infrastructure rather than short-term solutions.

Key activity

Supporting Community Innovation and Emerging Needs

What success looks like

Community-driven solutions improve inclusion, access and quality of life. Successful projects are sustained, expanded, adapted or replicated, and community partners have greater capacity to respond to emerging needs and develop local solutions.
