The Tyler Greene Fund provides financial support to worthy causes promoting Ability Awareness or Inclusion of groups of people who may typically be marginalized by simply being “different” not only by ability, but also by race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Worthy causes could include, but are not limited to: conferences, classes, scholarships, equipment, curriculum, events, training materials, research materials, promotional materials, or projects.
If you or your organization is interested in applying for financial assistance from the Tyler Greene Fund simply fill out the “Submit an Application for Your Inclusion Project” completely on this website and click on the “Submit” button when complete.
