Launched the annual Impact Grant for Deaf Organizations Fund in which we received over 80 requests totaling nearly $2M. For the 2025 grantee cohort, we distributed $100,000 in unrestricted grant dollars among four deaf-centric organizations and programs and supported them as needed with project implementation and grantee coaching. Additionally, we provided $5,400 in stipends to six grantees from the 2024 cohort. Using accessible, culturally responsive practices, DOF provided collaboration and consultant opportunities, educational webinars, technical assistance and more to other deaf-centric organizations and programs.
