Global Down Syndrome Educational Grant Applications Now Available!

Applications for the 2013 Global Down Syndrome Educational Grants are now available! The grant program, a joint venture of the Global Down Syndrome Foundation and the National Down Syndrome Congress, awards local Down syndrome organizations with grants of up to $15,000 each to launch educational programs to benefit the Down syndrome community.

Local Down syndrome organizations that are affiliates of the National Down Syndrome Congress are welcome to download an application for full details. All materials are due May 3rd, 2013, in order to be considered for this year’s grants, which will be announced in July at the National Down Syndrome Congress Convention in Denver.

This is the second year for the Global Down Syndrome Educational Grants. We were excited to receive more than 30 submissions for the inaugural round of grants in 2012, with some excellent educational ideas! The first recipients were Down Syndrome Association of Greater Richmond, Down Syndrome Association of Northern Virginia, Down Syndrome Society of Mobile County, Gold Coast Down Syndrome Organization, Down Syndrome Foundation of SE New Mexico, and Down Syndrome Connection of the Bay Area.
