Stipends

TCDD has funding available for multiple stipends to support disability-related events, speakers, and translation services in Texas. We offer these stipends to enhance opportunities for people with developmental disabilities (DD) and their families to exercise choice and control in their lives, and promote independence, productivity, and community inclusion. Stipend applications must be received by TCDD at least 60 days in advance of the event.

Conference and Event Stipends

Texas organizations that conduct qualified in-state professional or informational conferences, workshops, or legislative advocacy skills training events can apply for grants to help more individuals with developmental disabilities and their family members to attend. To learn more and apply, see Conference and Event Stipends.
