We appreciate your interest in attending. Should funds for travel, hotel, and registration seem beyond your current resources, here are some thoughts on possible ways to obtain funding. Requests for ACA funding to attend the ACA Annual Meeting and ACA Peer Training from an active amputee support group member will receive first consideration. However, both support group members and other individuals will be more successful if they stress their desire to acquire knowledge to share with other amputees and their local community.
Programs serving the limb loss population vary from state to state.
We are interested in hearing about new information and resources that you uncover in your search for funding. We applaud your efforts and wish you every success. Contact your state Department of Human Resources and ask about conference and training assistance. Request information from the federally funded technology assistance program in your state. Your church, synagogue, or other religious organization may help with funding, or its members may be willing to assist you in fundraiser projects such as bake sales, yard sales, or a car wash by the youth group.
