About the Art Berg Fund Grant
The National Speakers Association (NSA) Foundation serves members and the public through various scholarships and grants.

Each year, one grant is awarded in the amount of $5,000. Examples of eligible projects include:
- Creating and distributing free audio packages to the blind.
- Providing software and/or hardware to after-school programs.
- Developing a wireless project to connect at-risk children and/or their parents to 911 hotlines.
