2006-08 Grant Summaries: Inclusive of Individuals with Disabilities as Active Volunteers and Service Members in National Service
The Institute for Community Inclusion's (MA UCEDD) National Service Inclusion Project recently awarded four $40,000 grants.

To achieve this, the UCEDD must recruit, establish a contractual agreement, and fund the active participation of a consumer-directed disability organization or group that will work in partnership with their respective State Commissions and/or State Office.
