Helping you grow your audience
We're here to say: It's for all of us.
Need help increasing attendance by people with hearing loss? TAP Plus grants provide funds to add captioning services to public cultural events in New York State. TDF has partnered with the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) to provide a limited number of grants per year to organizations that show a need for captioning services.
