Federal Grant Award Summary

Disability Rights North Carolina received a $196,370 Formula Grant award from the Administration on Disabilities under the State Grants for Protection and Advocacy Services program (CFDA 93.873), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. This award funds the organization's Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Act Protection and Advocacy program, which delivers comprehensive services to individuals with traumatic brain injuries throughout North Carolina. Services provided include information and referrals, individual and family advocacy, legal representation, and self-advocacy assistance.

As the state's designated Protection and Advocacy system, Disability Rights North Carolina leverages this funding as part of its broader federal grant portfolio to serve vulnerable populations with disabilities. The formula grant structure allocates funding based on state population factors and is contingent upon satisfactory grantee performance and continued federal appropriations in subsequent fiscal years. The organization is required to maintain grant records for four years following submission of the Federal Financial Report, or longer if any litigation, claims, or audits remain pending.
