The National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) and Voya Cares® are partnering to provide financial support to entrepreneurs with Down syndrome. Two $10,000 grants are available for two individuals with Down syndrome who want to start their own business or invest more capital into their company.
The grants will be awarded this October, in celebration of Down Syndrome Awareness Month and National Disability Employment Awareness Month.
The recipients will be chosen based on the creativity of their business plan, their goals for the future of their business, and the impact they are making in their communities.
