Accessibility Grant for Neurological Inclusion
The Oriol Foundation Accessibility Grant for Neurological Inclusion is a community-focused initiative designed to support programs that create more inclusive, accessible environments for individuals living with neurological conditions.
This grant helps schools, organizations, and public-serving groups reduce barriers and promote meaningful participation for individuals of all abilities—supporting a stronger, more connected community.
We are proud to recognize Mountview Middle School as the first recipient of the Oriol Foundation Accessibility Grant for Neurological Inclusion.

This initiative reflects the Foundation’s mission to promote inclusion, accessibility, and opportunity across the communities we serve.
