The Future Is Foundation currently offers 3 grants for people with disabilities aimed to support independence, inclusion, and a future without limits
Programs
Transportation Grant
People living with disabilities have a harder time getting or finding transportation to not only medical appointments, but to every day events most take for granted. Something as “simple” as going to the store to pick up a gallon of milk can be impossible due to lack of access to transportation. With that in mind, The Future Is Foundation will provide grants to a transportation company chosen by the recipient of the grant. We have sponsors that support our mission that we can recommend, but the decision is the recipients.
The Goal
This grant will make transportation more affordable for the important things like going to work, going grocery shopping, and being an active member of the community. The future is wherever you want it to be.
We will offer $1000 in funds annually to be paid directly to the vender of the recipients choice. This equals an average of 4 round trip rides per year, per recipient
How
The Future Is Foundation will provide a grant for transportation request. Once the request is approved the recipient will let us know what vendor they intend on using, and we will pay that vendor directly.
Eligibility
Any individual living with ANY disability.
Emergency Relief Grant
People living with disabilities often face greater challenges during times of crisis — whether it’s a natural disaster, health emergency, or unexpected personal hardship. What may be a temporary setback for others can become a major obstacle for individuals with disabilities who already face barriers to resources and recovery. With that in mind, The Future Is Foundation established the Emergency Relief Grant to provide immediate financial assistance and vital support when it’s needed most.
The Goal
This grant will ensure that people with disabilities, who face additional challenges during emergencies, have resources to recover and rebuild their lives during an emergency. That emergency can be national or personal. This program will also rase awareness about the impacts not only national disasters can have on the disabled community, but personal emergencies such as decline of health.
How
The Future Is Foundation will provide assistance to people with disabilities affected by disasters and emergency situations. Recipients will receive financial aid in the form of $100-$1000 Visa Gift Cards to cover essential personal needs such as food, hygiene products, and other basic necessities.
Eligibility
Any individual with a physical disability facing a financial hardship due to a disability related expense
Adaptive Technology Grant
Access to the right tools and equipment can make all the difference for individuals living with physical disabilities. From mobility devices to communication aids, adaptive technology provides opportunities for greater independence, comfort, and connection in everyday life. Recognizing this, The Future Is Foundation created the Adaptive Technology Grant to ensure that everyone has the means to live with dignity and self-sufficiency.
The Goal
This grant will provide anyone living with a physical disability essential equipment and technology to support their independence, comfort, and quality of life
How
The Future Is Foundation will provide adaptive equipment grants up to $2500 to be used towards items such as mobility devices, medical devices, vehicle modifications and communication devices
Eligibility
Any individual living with a physical disability.
