Description
The CSA Dependent Care Grant is designed to help members of the Costume Society of America (CSA) who incur additional dependent care expenses in order to attend the national Annual Meeting and Symposium. The grant aims to make professional development opportunities more accessible for caregivers—whether they are bringing young children, incurring extra costs to leave children at home, or are responsible for elderly parents, partners, or adult children with disabilities. By providing financial support for specific dependent care expenses, CSA seeks to reduce barriers for members balancing caregiving and professional responsibilities.
