Grants ranging from $500 to $7,500 to community groups in Southwest Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia and Ohio for programs that help to bridge communication obstacles for people in the Pittsburgh area. Proposals should address issues for those who cannot understand, speak, hear, write, or read English proficiently or fluently
Applicants are encouraged to consider how they can use technology to make the region's resources more accessible to all.
Innovative ideas as well as quirky solutions are welcomed. Applicants may focus their language access proposals on a specific community, constituency, language, or demographic group, or focus on a broader cross-section of constituencies. These are small grants; therefore, please consider solutions that are low-cost but still contribute to the impact or reach of your language access idea. Collaborations with technology firms or STEM organizations are encouraged.
Proposed initiatives should do one or more of the following:
- Create opportunities for community engagement that result in a more inclusive, multicultural region, where diverse communities are valued, respected, visible and heard;
- Engage members of diverse communities in efforts that benefit their own community and/or the community at large;
- Reach out to the community-at-large to grow the awareness and engagement with diverse communities;
- Be collaborative in nature by engaging diverse communities, organizations (non-profit, business, academic) and/or other community partners.
Funding requests for both new and continuing initiatives will be considered.
