Disabilities Grant opportunities

[HHull29579 at AOL.COM]

If you are interested in finding funding for an after-school program for 
children with disabilities, there are several sources you may wish to 
consider. (1) your county department of Children, Youth and Families 
services receive Community Service Block Grant funds from the Federal 
Government's Department of Health, which includes the National Institute 
of Health.  Also, under the children with disabilities act money is set a 
side to fund such programs.  To learn more about this funding stream 
contact your State Department of Education and your state advocacy groups 
who advocate on behalf of children with disabilities.  (2) check out your 
local foundations and national foundations such as the Heinz foundation 
and a big funder of childrens' after-school initiative programs here in 
Pittsburgh is the Grable foundation, which may make awards out of state. 
It can hurt to contact them because your intent is novel in the sense that 
I don't hear about too many projects such as the one you are proposing to 
do.  Good Luck.
