Priorities & Guidelines

The Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation is dedicated to helping young Americans with disabilities maximize their potential and participation in society. The Foundation supports organizations and projects within its mission that address important needs, have broad scope and impact, and demonstrate potential for replication at other sites.

MEAF's funding priority is inclusion: enabling young people with disabilities to have full access to educational, vocational and recreational opportunities and to participate alongside their non-disabled peers.

To better serve you, the Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation is developing an online grant application system and is revising its grant giving priorities and guidelines. Therefore, MEAF is not currently accepting concept papers or proposals. Please check back in the spring of 2012 for new application guidelines and procedures.
