Description
The CSA Dependent Care Grant assists members of the Costume Society of America who face additional dependent care responsibilities while attending the national Annual Meeting and Symposium. The grant is intended to reduce the financial burden for members who must bring young children, incur extra expenses for dependent care at home, or are responsible for elderly parents, partners, or adult children with disabilities. By providing targeted support, the grant enables broader participation from members who might otherwise be unable to attend due to caregiving obligations.
