Have you gotten to watch the recordings for our webinar about the Teighlor McGee Mini-Grant program and our application walk through, but still have questions about the program? 

Our Grassroots Associate, Elias Bouderdaben, can help! You can email them your questions about the mini-grants applications at [email protected] or sign up for virtual office hours with them here.

If you haven’t seen our recent announcement, the Teighlor McGee Mini-Grants applications will be open until July 31, 2025. ASAN is accepting applications for two different kinds of grants, the Affiliates in Action Mini Grant and the Self-advocates Transforming Equitable Policy (STEP) Mini Grant.

Affiliates in Action and STEP have different qualifications:

• Affiliates in Action Mini Grant
  • Must be a current Affiliate. Completed their application process and has been accepted into the Affiliate program. Groups not yet affiliated must apply to become an Affiliate and be approved before applying for the mini grant. 
  • Must be actively meeting. Active means that your group meets at least once a month, virtually or in-person. 
  • Must be self-advocate led. Run by people who identify as self-advocates with developmental disabilities (for example, autistic people or people with intellectual disabilities).
  • Open to international Affiliates.
• Self-advocates Transforming Equitable Policy (STEP) Mini Grant
  • Does not need to be an Affiliate, but must reside in the US.
  • Must be a person with a developmental disability. You do not need an official diagnosis to apply. 
  • Must have pre-existing contacts and connections to communities of color. Proposal must plan to work with people of color with intellectual and developmental disabilities and address problems they disproportionately face.

If you have a project that will improve the lives of people with disabilities in your community that you need funding for, please visit our website today to see if you qualify for our Teighlor McGee Mini-Grants Program!
