Programs

Within our highly focused interest area of technology for people with disabilities, we have evolved a number of major programmatic themes. Each works to assure that technology -- on the personal and societal level -- is inclusive of people with disabilities.

It is not necessary for grant seeking organizations to present proposals in terms of these programs. We realize that these five program areas are not mutually exclusive. We offer them as insight into the critical avenues pursued by nonprofit organizations dedicated to applying technology to improve the independence, inclusion and dignity of people with disabilities.
