Named for the former executive director of the FISA Foundation, who led efforts to improve the lives of people with disabilities until her retirement in 2010, this new grant program will support projects that increase the accessibility of arts facilities and programming.
Projects may include physical space renovations to bring arts facilities into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, improved way-finding signage, Braille labeling for doors, website upgrades, small ramps and/or tension-adjustable door openers. The fund will also support projects that increase accessibility of programming, such as American Sign Language interpretation, audio described performances, alternative formats for printed materials, etc.
