[Tall-Corn] Funding for First Time National COnvention Atendance

[Helen Mejia]

Hi Again,

As a reminder, the IDB Gifts and Bequests policy supports any blind Iowan to attend their first state and national conventions with both NFB and ACB, so as long as you have never attended an NFB national convention, you can request $1,200 to cover your expenses. 
Attached is a blank copy of the application form. Note that you do not need to enter any personal financial information for the convention grant.
I have also attached some sample cost estimates from state convention as examples. With your completed application you will need to submit a document showing your expected costs. Flight, hotel, registration, banquet, ground transportation, meals, etc.
If you have questions about any of this, please ask.

Looking forward to seeing many of you in Austin in just a few months!
Helen
