Overview

The California Academy on Transition Studies (CATS) has several funding sources.

Grants
We submit research and training grants to local, State, and Federal government. We have attached two copies of grant proposals. One had been awarded and the other one is pending for review.

Sponsorship contribution
We do not have specific fund-raising events, but we have solicited business leaders and community members to participate in CATS’s activitiesthrough personal contacts. As we conduct training seminars for parents of child with disabilities, we meet business people and they donate their time and resources to CATS.

Training
We provide training to local community for various groups of people. Small amount of tuition is charged to participants.

General Administration of Activities and Personnel
All people in the CATS organization are volunteers donating their time and expertise to support the mission of CATS. All members in the Board of Directors are people with disabilities who have own professional career.
