The Bubel/Aiken Foundation, created by Clay Aiken of American Idol fame, "focuses on programs that help bridge the gap that exists between young people with special needs and the world around them."
While the 2007 grant cycle is closed, and the 2008 has yet to officially begin, now is a great time to start thinking about applying for the October 31, 2008 deadline!
According to the Foundation's web site, they provide "much needed funding to qualified programs serving families in need of funds to assist individuals in life skills and one-to-one social skills, but more importantly, to programs that provide social interaction with non-disabled peers. [They] will fund the development of curricula and the necessary training aimed at achieving full inclusion in the educational, employment, and recreational settings."
