Funding Opportunities through Connections for All
11:27 AM EST 12/21/06
Tap into CTCNet's Connections for All (C4All) funding opportunities to enhance the capacity of the community technology center at your library serve people with a broad range of abilities!
In order to be eligible for the grants listed below, you must attend a C4All training institute. Institutes scheduled for January will be held in Los Angeles, Baltimore, Oakland, Nashville, and Boston.
Twenty $1000 AccessNow Awards will be given to randomly selected participants at each C4All Accessibility Institute (2 per Institute). Recipients can use the award to purchase assistive technology that will help increase their CTC's accessibility to community members with learning, visual, hearing, cognitive, and/or physical impairments.
Fourteen $20,000 Accessibility Grants will be awarded through a competitive grant application process, open only to CTCs that attended a full-day Accessibility Institute. This grant can be used toward staff training, staff time dedicated to addressing access issues, and the purchase of assistive and accessible tools designed to help users overcome difficulties presented by standard equipment.
