Mission and Program Overview

Mission

After preserving deaf television history DTF continues to evolve by providing deaf theatre workshops and shows national deaf sports hall of fame ceremonies and deaf literary awards for American deaf and hard of hearing population

Deaf Television Foundation (DTF) aims to provide a four-pronged approach to meeting the artistic, entertaining, historical, and literary needs of the American deaf and hard of hearing population. Although DTF has exceeded its goal of preserving deaf television history, we continue to evolve and provide other activities. We offer deaf theatre workshops and shows, biannual national deaf American distance running hall of fame ceremonies, and literary awards for deaf authors. We aspire to educate, enlighten, and engage the American public at large about our four proven achievements and will always elude to our documented heritage.
