Grants & scholarships

Future assistance built around objective, mission-related criteria.

The Foundation’s governing documents authorize scholarships, grants and charitable assistance, but no open application program is represented here until funding, eligibility rules, Board approval and compliance systems are in place.

Possible future support

Scholarships, educational assistance, assistive-technology support, project grants, creative-technology opportunities and other mission-consistent charitable assistance.

Objective selection

Programs should use published or documented eligibility criteria, mission-related selection standards and records sufficient to explain why an award was made.

Conflict safeguards

Directors, officers, founders, relatives and related entities should not receive preferential treatment because of insider status.

Monitoring

Where appropriate, grants may use agreements, receipts, progress reports, expenditure reports or other reasonable controls to protect charitable assets.

Not yet accepting applications

No grant or scholarship application window is currently represented as open on this page. When a program launches, this page should state eligibility, deadlines, selection criteria, award amount or range, required documentation and how decisions are communicated.

Questions about future grant or scholarship programs: [email protected].

Intended eligibility criteria (planned)

No grant or scholarship is open, and nothing on this page is an offer or promise of money. If programs launch, criteria are intended to be published in advance and could include:

A clear connection to the Foundation’s purposes, such as education, accessibility, assistive technology, digital skills, software or creative arts.
Barriers the applicant faces, for example disability, cost or lack of accessible technology.
A specific plan for how the support would be used.
Any legal limits on who can receive charitable assistance in a given place.

Meeting eligibility criteria would not guarantee an award. Awards would be discretionary and limited by available funding.

Planned application and decision process

The program, criteria, deadlines, award amount or range and required documents are published on this page before any window opens.
Applications are accepted in accessible formats, with accommodations available on request.
Reviewers with a conflict of interest disclose it and step aside.
Decisions are documented with the reasons for each award.
Applicants are told the outcome and, where practical, how decisions were made.
Recipients may be asked for receipts or short progress reports to protect charitable assets.

The Foundation intends to keep the right to modify, pause or cancel any program, and family members of directors and officers would receive no preferential treatment.

How to hear when something opens

Opportunities will be announced on this page first. Questions can go to [email protected]; please do not send personal financial or medical documents by email before a program is open.
