Language Translation
These guidelines and other materials are translated in Spanish and available on the Arts Impact for Individuals program page, and can be translated into other languages. MRAC’s website can also be translated into Spanish by clicking the language button or “ES” in the top left corner.
The online grant portal (https://www.grantinterface.com/Home/Logon?urlkey=mrac) has the Google Translate feature to enable application translations in over 100 languages.
Individuals are encouraged to apply in their preferred language. With advance notice, MRAC can contract an interpreter and/or translator to assist during the application process.
Accessibility
MRAC requests that all applicants apply online unless a disability presents a barrier to doing so.
On each grant webpage there is a link to the guidelines in a text format that is friendly to screen readers and text resizing. The company that makes the online application software MRAC uses, Foundant Technologies, suggests using NVDA, a screen reader software compatible with Windows available for free download.
Applicants with disabilities wishing to use other means to apply can work with MRAC staff to adapt our typical processes to ensure you have equal opportunity to submit an application. Solutions we have previously implemented include filling out an adapted form in Microsoft Word, and providing verbal responses that MRAC will share via audio recording or transcription.
Contact us as early as possible to begin a conversation about how to make sure you have an equal opportunity to apply.
