Description
The CSA Dependent Care Grant is designed to assist members of the Costume Society of America who incur extra dependent care expenses as a result of attending the national Annual Meeting and Symposium. The grant aims to reduce barriers for members with caregiving responsibilities—whether for young children, elderly parents, adult children with disabilities, or other dependents—so they can participate more fully in the symposium. Allowable expenses include additional daycare at home, daycare at the symposium (though no on-site services are provided), and costs associated with bringing a professional caretaker.
