[Nfb-fundraising] Funding Support for Social Change Groups in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina

[Everett Gavel]

Hello,

Maybe it's just me, but I have a hard time sitting by
quietly while an organization talking of "social
change" ignores the discrimination against people with
disabilities.  Below, they mention women's rights and
racial issues among other things, but say nothing about
disabilities.  This grant opp is only good for Georgia,
and the Carolinas.  But I want to urge affiliates and
chapters there to apply for this funding.  Let them
just try and say that disabled rights and disabilities
education is not a social issue.  Please, someone, try
for these grants, which vary from $1000 to $5000.

To Your Success!
