The Retirement Research Foundation is pleased to announce the 2012 Accessible Faith Grant Program to enable houses of worship to make accessibility improvements to their facilities. The program is available to houses of worship in six metro Chicago counties: Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, and McHenry. Since the program began nine years ago, the Foundation has awarded 129 grants to religious congregations totaling almost $2.8 million to make their facilities more accessible.
Please share information about the Accessible Faith Grant Program with leaders of houses of worship, disability rights advocates, and others who may know religious congregations that could benefit from this opportunity. Please announce the Accessible Faith Grant Program through print or electronic newsletters, listservs, or other means available to you. Click here for a copy of the flyer announcing the 2012 Accessible Faith Grant Program. You will find a full description of the program, application form, and tips for completing the application in the Accessible Faith Grant Program section of the RRF website.
Please help spread the word immediately to give congregations adequate time to submit an application. Applications will be accepted from March 1 through June 1, 2012. Thank you for helping make others aware of the importance of accessibility improvements and the availability of funding for such efforts.
If you have questions or comments, please contact Retirement Research Foundation at AFG@rrf.org.
