About the Art Berg Fund Grant

 

The National Speakers Association (NSA) Foundation serves members and the public through various scholarships and grants. One such grant, named in honor of the late Art Berg—world-class wheelchair athlete and motivational speaker—was created to assist NSA members of a 501(c)(3) organization with funding technology-related projects that enhance communication.

Each year, one grant is awarded in the amount of $5,000. Examples of eligible projects include:

  • Creating and distributing free audio packages to the blind.
  • Providing software and/or hardware to after-school programs.
  • Developing a wireless project to connect at-risk children and/or their parents to 911 hotlines.
  • Establishing educational programs in sign language to parents/siblings of deaf children.
  • Funding research to identify ways volunteers can use technology to assist the elderly demographic.
