Description

Individual Grants

Our grant program is highly competitive. We know the need is great and we wish we could fund every worthwhile application, but that is not always possible.  Please review our eligibility criteria to determine if you qualify for a grant. Our individual grants are used to provide access to resources that improve a person’s daily life. From life-changing home and vehicle adaptations to registration for a specialized summer camp, grant funds can be used for a variety of needs, including, but not limited to:

•            Assistive technology and adaptive equipment

•            Home modifications (ramps, bathroom modifications)

•            Specialized therapy services (aquatic, equine, art, etc.)

•            Summer Camps

Rules
