Grant of the Week: Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation

"Through its National Grant program, MEAF provides funding to nonprofit organizations that are working toward the full inclusion of young people with disabilities in society. Proposed projects should be national in scope and impact or model projects that can be replicated at multiple sites" (http://www.meaf.org/grants.php).

"Funding is available for both project costs and operating support, and is open to both disability-specific organizations and those that serve the general population.

"While requests from all parts of the US will be considered, priority will be given to communities where Mitsubishi Electric US companies are located.

"Preference is given to organizations and projects that reflect collaboration among groups.
Preference is also given to organizations and projects that actively involve people with disabilities in program planning and implementation.

"Grants are made only to US-based nonprofit organizations that have been granted Federal income tax exemption under 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code."
