The NCDA Government Relations Committee is excited to announce the State Advocacy Grant Program, designed to support state-level efforts that strengthen advocacy, increase awareness of career development, and advance public policy engagement.
Eligible applicants include state career development associations, NCDA members working in conjunction with a state CDA, and groups of two or more NCDA members in states without a state CDA. Funding may support activities such as legislative advocacy days, meetings with policymakers, advocacy training, public awareness initiatives, policy engagement events, and other advocacy efforts aligned with NCDA's mission.
Applications open August 14, 2026, and are due September 13, 2026.
