What are the grants?

The grants provide financial relief for families who have children

with medical needs not covered or not fully covered by their

commercial health benefit plan. The Foundation aims to fill the gap

between what medical services/items your child needs and what your

commercial health benefit plan will pay for.

How does the grant work?

If a grant is approved by the Regional Board of Directors for your

child, the grant will help pay for approved medical services/items

after your commercial health benefit plan submits payment, if any.

The grant funds are not paid to you or the child outright - you work

with the Foundation on submitting invoices/bills for approved medical

services/items after your commercial health benefit plan submits

initial payment (if any) to the health care provider (see graphic to

the right).

How do I apply for a grant for my child?

First, review the information contained on this page to make sure you

then you can apply for a grant online by clicking on the button
