The Paul V. Sherlock Center on Disabilities at Rhode Island College is soliciting applications from local businesses and organizations for the 2026 Access for All Abilities Mini-Grant cycle. The Sherlock Center will award grants with the purpose of increasing access for people with disabilities to social, leisure, recreational, and cultural activities. In 2026, the Sherlock Center will award four (4) grants of up to $2,500 each. The Sherlock Center reserves the right to award additional grants as funds permit.
We will consider only one application per business entity (LLC, corporation, nonprofit, sole proprietorship, municipal department, etc.). If multiple applications are received from the same entity, we will consider only the first complete application submitted for review. Please coordinate within your organization before applying to avoid disqualification.
