Hello,

This particular grant opportunity seems almost so vague
as to be usable in too many ways to list.  I hope it
helps someone fund a program.  Details are below.

To Your Funding Success!

Ethel Louise Armstrong Foundation Offers Funding for
Arts
and Advocacy Programs for People With Disabilities

Deadline: September 15, 2007 (Online Application)

The Ethel Louise Armstrong Foundation (
http://www.ela.org/ )
 has a vision of "Changing the Face of Disability on
the Planet."
 The foundation works to accomplish this vision through
its grant
 and scholarship programs.

The ELA Foundation grants funds in the areas of the
arts and
 advocacy to U.S. nonprofit organizations that are led
by or
 support adults with disabilities who are 22 years of
age or
 older. In the arts, the foundation supports programs
that sup-
 port professional artists with disabilities or
encourage a pro-
 fessional environment while enhancing creativity among
people
 with disabilities who are not professional artists
themselves.

In advocacy, the foundation supports programs that
promote
 change in legislation or provide education that
enhances knowl-
 edge and action to create laws and policies that will
result
 in better lives for people with disabilities.

The foundation funds program grants only. A program
grant serves
 a specific number of people in a set amount of time
with measur-
 able goals. Programs must demonstrate support by other
found-
 ations, corporations, and individuals in the local
community.

Applicant organizations must be tax-exempt under
section of the
 501(c)(3) IRS Code and have been in existence for two
years or
 longer. Grant amounts will range from $1,000 to $5,000
each.

guide-
 lines and application procedures.
