My paper got accepted at NeurIPS TAE Workshop 2026 — any advice on getting travel funding?[D]

A working professional's paper has been accepted for presentation at the TAE Workshop at NeurIPS 2026 on December 11, 2026. While the workshop covers registration and hotel expenses, airfare is not included, and the individual is ineligible for student-focused funding. They are seeking advice on securing travel funding, specifically for airfare, from grants, research funds, conference sponsorships, companies, foundations, or community programs, especially from those with experience attending NeurIPS or similar ML conferences as professionals.

This post specifically seeks advice for working professionals, unlike most funding discussions that focus on student opportunities for NeurIPS 2026.
