The AWS Foundation Accessible Communities Fund is offered by the Community Foundation of Noble County in partnership with the AWS Foundation. It supports organizations providing inclusive programs and projects for children and adults with enduring intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities in Noble County, Indiana.
The fund emphasizes self-determination: individuals should define their own preferences, opinions, priorities, and accommodations. Its guiding principles favor inclusive and integrated environments that encourage potential rather than focus on limitations. Priorities include social opportunities involving family, friends, age-related peers, and new friendships; accessibility beyond minimum ADA standards through Universal Design; and opportunities that strengthen education, employment potential, and independence. Collaboration is encouraged to expand opportunities.
