GRANT FUNDS AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE JOB ASSISTANCE TO VETERANS WITH DISABILITIES

The Able Trust has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP #08-5) aimed at existing Florida not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) organizations, associations and agencies that provide Florida Citizens with Disabilities with employment related services. The purpose of the RFP is to provide funding for a project(s) to create employment opportunities for Florida residents that are veterans of a branch of the United States Military Service and have a disability in gaining competitive employment in the community. Established Florida not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) organizations are eligible to submit a proposal which outlines a project that will lead to competitive employment for veterans with disabilities.

The Able Trust will award up to $60,000 to one or two not-for-profit agencies throughout Florida. It is anticipated that one or two projects will be funded for a one-or-two-year grant period. Projects should serve a minimum of 25 individuals and result in an 80 percent community employment outcome. The deadline to submit proposals is March 4, 2008.
