- Awardees will receive a confirmation email and a simple agreement to sign before items are released.
After You Travel or Launch
All grant recipients agree to provide a short reflection, photo, or video within 60 days of using their grant. Your story may be featured (anonymously, if preferred) to inspire others and expand what’s possible for the neurodivergent community.
