ELA Foundation grants for disability arts and advocacy
The ELA Foundation provides grants of $1,000-$5,000 to nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations led by or that support adults with disabilities age 22 or older. Specifically, it supports established programs in the arts (programs that support professional artists with disabilities or encourage a professional environment while enhancing creativity among people with disabilities who are not professional artists) and in advocacy (programs that promote legislative change or provide education to enhance knowledge and action to create laws and policies that promote better lives for people with disabilities). Grantees must demonstrate support from other foundations, corporations, and individuals. Application deadline: September 15, 2007.
