Grant Nominations:
Our Why

We strive to customize our grants to meet the needs of each brain injury survivor experiencing financial hardship.

​

The grant assessment is comprehensive and involves verifying the financial gap and coordinating the logistics related to the grant itself.  The entire end-to-end process from nomination to receiving a grant is typically 4-6 weeks.

​

After you submit this form, the system will notify our Executive Director, who will inform the Board of Directors.  A board member is typically assigned within 2-3 business days. They will then reach out to you to begin the assessment process.

​

Note:  As part of the assessment process, we routinely request copies of overdue bills, service and/or equipment cost estimates, receipts, etc.

Once the initial assessment is complete and it is determined your nomination is eligible for a grant, the board member will propose a grant award for the Board of Directors to review.  Each board member will vote to approve or deny the grant nomination.  If a nomination receives a majority of yes votes, the grant is approved and the process to coordinate the logistics begin.

Nominators and/or nominees will be informed of the voting outcome by their assigned board member.  If approved, the nominee will receive a mailed letter confirming the grant awarded and how the grant will be distributed.
