The Christopher Reeve Foundation's Quality of Life Grants Program

 

The Christopher Reeve Foundation's Quality of Life Grants Program offers grants to nonprofit organizations working to address the needs of persons living with paralysis particularly as a result of spinal-cord injury, but also including stroke, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and traumatic brain injury.

Funding is awarded in thirteen categories, including accessibility, advocacy, arts, assistive technology, children, counseling, education, employment, health promotion, independent living, practical service, sports and recreation, and therapeutic riding.

Except for the health promotion category, the primary focus of Quality of Life grants is paralysis caused by spinal-cord injury. To qualify for funding, a nonprofit organization does not have to exclusively serve people with spinal cord injuries; however, at least a portion of the population served must have spinal-cord injuries.

The health promotion category provides funding to non-profit organizations that address paralysis caused by spinal-cord injuries and/or other injuries, diseases, and birth conditions, including, but not limited to, stroke, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, etc. Health promotion grants are intended for programmatic activities and not solely for the purchase of equipment for use by individuals. Grants also cannot fund advocacy or food.

Funding is awarded in amounts of up to $25,000 per grant.

Applicants must provide proof of nonprofit IRS 501(c)(3) status. The program accepts applications from organizations based outside the U.S., although priority is given to those with an international scope (i.e., projects that serve people living in more than one country). Please note that the program does not make grants to individuals.

The online application submission period for the first cycle in 2006 opens January 3, 2006.
