NOAH iPad & Technology Assistance Program

supported by the Parker Foundation

The NOAH iPad Assistance Program was founded in 2015 to provide people with albinism, who do not have access to technology, the opportunity to receive an iPad. Originating in the Northern Illinois (NI) NOAH community, NOAH increased the geographic reach of the iPad Assistance Program to the United States and Canada beginning in 2022.

Thanks to the generous support of the Parker Foundation, NOAH is pleased to announce its expanded iPad & Technology Assistance Program for PWAs in partnership with Vispero.

Please keep in mind that eligibility guidelines for current & future rounds of iPad and Technology Assistance will require that applicants have not received iPad or technology assistance from NOAH within the past 3 years.
