Individual Grant Application

Awards are considered by a combination of factors. Approved applications typically demonstrate a severe need, an inability to acquire the needed equipment through other means and applications address each of the following areas:

• financial need of the applicant
• type of disability
• how the equipment request will improve the applicants quality of life and increase personal independence
• if the applicant has explored other avenues of funding
• two or more quotes (from different vendors) for the equipment being applied for
• how long the equipment will meet the client’s need
