Reasonable Accommodation

The Barry Goldwater Foundation (BGSF) is dedicated to enhancing its recruitment, promotion, and retention of qualified persons with disabilities by providing the information and resources necessary to support them and to accomplish BGSF’s mission. To implement the requirements of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, the Foundation is committed to providing timely and effective reasonable accommodations to known physical or mental limitations of individuals (employees and job applicants) who meet the statutory definition of a qualified individual with a disability, unless to do so would cause undue hardship to the Agency.

Personal Assistance Services

The Barry Goldwater Foundation will provide personal assistance services (PAS) to qualified employees with a targeted disability or serious health condition designated on the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s Standard Form 256 (opens in a new tab). Employees requesting PAS should follow the same guidance and procedures as for requesting Reasonable Accommodations. The Foundation will adhere to the same time frames for processing PAS requests.

Please review the Foundation’s Reasonable Accommodation & Personal Assistance Services Policy and Procedures for more information. Accessible formats may be requested by contacting the Foundation at goldwaterao@goldwaterscholarship.gov or 703-756-6012.
