The Region VIII CRP RCEP at CTAT is pleased to announce the availability of Capacity Building Grants to Community-based Rehabilitation Programs and Centers for Independent Living in Region VIII. BACKGROUND Community-based rehabilitation programs (CRP’s) and centers for independent living (CIL’s) face challenges common to most organizations in a constantly shifting landscape of change. As well, they face issues unique to non-profits and community-based agencies. These many challenges beleaguer organizations and require cost-effective and innovative solutions. CTAT is committed to building local capacity of CRPs and CILs to provide excellent rehabilitation services utilizing training and consultation methods to meet local needs. Capacity Building Grants (up to 6 per year) will be available to CRPs and CILs in Region VIII states (CO, UT, MT, ND, SD & WY) in order to institute strategies and approaches promoted in CTAT training programs and continue to build the capacity to facilitate quality employment outcomes. The Capacity Building Grants will accomplish the following:
  • Identify, train, and implement effective new models, strategies and/or processes, and/or;
  • Increase competence of staff, management and/or leadership in organizations
in order to facilitate quality community employment outcomes. We are looking for one year projects that:
  • Provide training and/or consultation to enhance community employment outcomes
  • Develop expertise in innovative employment practices or processes
  • Promote collaborative funding and implementation of services
  • Meet local/regional/state needs for training and consultation to address specific issues identified by community rehabilitation programs and/or independent living programs
  • Increase the business community’s awareness and competence to hire people with disabilities
  • Increase the retention of community employment staff.

Capacity Building Grant recipients will be allocated up to five thousand dollars ($5000.00) to contract for expertise in various areas. Consultants and experts daily rate (includes preparation time and travel time) may not exceed $555.00 per day (plus travel and per diem). Funding must be used to support the activities identified in the plan. For more information on CTAT Capacity Building Grants contact Tyler Paris at 303-636-5610 or 1-800-682-1240 or CTAT.
