Communication Access Grants Program
Project Description:
The National Arts and Disability Center (NADC) in partnership with Ability Central Philanthropy announces a new grant opportunity, the Arts and Communication Access Program. The NADC will provide non-profit arts organizations with project support toward activities that promote communication access to individuals with disabilities in arts programming or audience accommodations. This grant is for California arts organizations, museums, theaters, festivals and exhibits among others.
Grants up to $5,000 will be awarded to support communication access for the inclusion of individuals with disabilities in arts programming or audience accommodations. Applications are accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis until funds are used through June 30, 2020.

Creating alternative formats for materials such as large print or Braille;
Provide accommodations for California artists with disabilities to be part of an upcoming project (e.g. ASL interpreter for a deaf choreographer);
