TAC Accessibility Grant

Additional funding for projects to go towards accessibility costs for artists.

How It Works

The TAC Accessibility Grant is offered to most grant1 applicants.

Projects involving Deaf artists and artists with disabilities may apply for the TAC Accessibility Grant by completing the Accessibility Expenses section of the application and including the requisite information in their budget.

Applicants may not apply for the TAC Accessibility Grant on its own. The TAC Accessibility Grant is an additional grant that applicants can apply to while they are applying to another TAC grant. The funding available through this grant is always in addition to the funding provided through other TAC grant programs.

What Does this Grant Support?

The TAC Accessibility Grant will provide up to a maximum of $5,000 towards accessibility costs for artists incurred during the project. Accessibility costs include but are not limited to:

  • ASL interpretation
  • audio description
  • closed captioning
  • communications assistants
  • attendant care (including helpers for Elders)
  • support workers
  • equipment rentals or other supports required to meet artists’ accessibility needs
