Ethel Louise Armstrong Foundation Offers Grants for Programs Serving Adults With Disabilities
Deadline: September 15, 2006 (Online Grant Application Forms)

The vision of the Ethel Louise Armstrong Foundation (<a href="http://www.ela.org/">http://www.ela.org/</a>) is "to change the face of disability on the planet." In order to accomplish this vision, ELA’s mission is to promote, through grants and scholarships, the inclusion of people with disabilities in the areas of arts, advocacy, and education.

The foundation funds program grants in the areas of arts, advocacy, and education for adults with disabilities (over 22 years old). Applicants must be U.S. nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations that serve people with disabilities and have been in existence for two years or longer. Support from other funding sources in the community for the program must be demonstrated in the grant application.

Grants range from $1,000 to $5,000 each.

The applicant program must be approved for submission via the foundation’s online grant application form in order for the full grant application to be accepted. The grant application form must be submitted online by September 15, 2006, for the November 1 full grant application deadline. No hard copy grant application packets will be accepted unless the program is approved through the online application.

See the ELA Web site for complete grant guidelines, an FAQ, and application procedures.
