We are extremely honored and look forward to the possibility to provide new innovative ideas and opportunities!

KCDD, in partnership with Sunflower Health Plan, is proud to announce the awardees of the Sunflower IDD Provider Inclusion Grant!

This grant was created to support innovative projects that help IDD providers align with the HCBS Final Settings Rule: ensuring people with intellectual and developmental disabilities have full access to community life and can receive services in the most integrated, inclusive settings possible.

A special thank you to our partners at Sunflower/Centene for making this new funding opportunity possible. Your leadership and commitment to advancing inclusion across Kansas is appreciated.

We also want to extend our gratitude to the carefully and strategically selected team of devoted community members who spent an entire Friday reading, discussing, and weighing grant proposals. Your thoughtful insights, expertise, and passion for inclusion did not go unnoticed. Thank you for helping ensure this process reflected the values of our community.

This year, we received 17 applications and wish we could have funded them all. Ultimately, we were able to award funding to 11 providers to support things like staff training, transportation to access community opportunities, portable lifts and adaptive equipment, and other innovative efforts to promote inclusion and independence.
