CAPAL Funding Policy

The funds are available for committees, communities of practice, and other groups created and/or recognized by CAPAL as a part of the Association.
Potential expenses include, but are not limited to:

• Translation
• Accessibility services (for example, live transcription, closed captioning, ASL interpretation)
• Travel
• Meeting/administrative

Application

Eligible groups should submit a proposal to the Board of Directors for a vote.

• Purpose for the money (in under one paragraph)
