The Foundation for Developmental Disabilities provides grants and scholarships to members of the San Diego and Imperial Counties community. We offer grants to nonprofit organizations for innovative programs that serve individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. 

Grants usually range from $500-$15,000 with a maximum of $15,000 per grant. 

We typically fund programs focused on our four areas of impact which include employment, family support, housing, and self-advocacy. Our family support category encompasses initiatives focused on health and wellness, resources, and social connections, assuring partnerships that drive high-impact results for our community.

Proposals must be submitted by San Diego and Imperial Counties-based nonprofit organizations.

Grant requests for 2026 must be submitted to grants@foundationfordd.org by the close of business on the following dates: April 6th, June 25th, and October 5th.
