Options for Funding Online Video Captioning 

As online video becomes more synonymous with television and broadcast content, legal requirements for captioning are also becoming increasingly stringent. Along with these trends, grants and funding opportunities are likely to change.

At least for now, most grants and funding exist for educational institutions. Despite that, it’s always possible to find funding in unlikely places – including private investors and grants that are not specific to accessibility that could be relevant to your particular business or institution.
