About This Grant

Purpose

Accessibility grants are designed to help South Carolina organizations make arts programs and existing facilities accessible to persons with disabilities by removing accessibility barriers. Accessibility barriers are anything that prevent an individual with a disability from fully accessing a service or fully participating in a program. Examples of accessibility barriers can include, but are not limited to, physical/structural barriers, communication barriers, and digital/technology barriers.

If you are interested in learning more about accessibility, please visit the SCAC’s accessibility resources page, which includes links to highly informative topical webinars.

Please Note

Grant guidelines are subject to change until the application opens.
