The Council administers federal funds to conduct advocacy, capacity building, and systems change activities as outlined in the Council’s Five-Year Plan. The Council reviews the Plan annually and decides to fund new initiatives as needed. A Solicitation of Proposals (SOP) is developed and publicly disseminated when an outside entity/contractor is needed to achieve the desired outcomes in the initiative.
