CTA Foundation
We power lives. Through our extensive and dynamic network, we bring technology to those most in need — seniors and people with disabilities. It's more than just devices. We give people freedom, independence, purpose and most importantly, vital connections.

The CTA Foundation staff does extensive research on potential programs that meet the mission and vision of the Foundation. After identifying potential partners, we may request proposals from those organizations. The CTA Foundation Board of Trustees makes the final selection of proposals to support.
The CTA Foundation does not accept unsolicited proposals.
Organizations that fit our mission can contact us to submit information about their programs and request an invite for the next round of submission. However please recognize that due to limited staff and resources, the CTA Foundation limits the number of submissions each round.
The CTA Foundation sees its grants as part of a partnership and works closely with our grantees to ensure the program's success. Programs that receive grants from the CTA Foundation are required to submit reports outlining the impact that the program has had toward our mission. We take these metrics into consideration when evaluating future funding requests.
