Frequently Asked Questions

Do you fund items not covered by insurance?

Yes—our grants focus on medically necessary equipment with limited or no coverage, based on need and availability.

Can schools apply on behalf of a student?

Applications should be caregiver-led; school and clinician letters are welcome to support the request.

How long does approval take?

Typical review is 2–4 weeks; urgent safety needs may be expedited as funding allows.
