The Utah Assistive Technology Foundation offers a limited number
of small grants ($250 or less) to buy equipment and services for children
and adults with disabilities. These grants are provided through non-federal
sources, including donations from the Eccles Foundation, the Tanner
Trust, the Utah Families Foundation and many individuals.
To qualify for a grant, family income needs to meet federal poverty
level guidelines, listed below. In addition, there can be no other
funding sources available. At the present time, only four grants per
month, or a total of $1,000, will be approved until more non-federal
funding is received. Each application will be considered on an individual
basis by the UATF Executive Director and Board Officers. Decisions
will be based on family income, disability, cost of requested device,
and urgency.
To apply for a small grant, please fill out the grant
application form and mail or fax it using the address or phone
number listed below. Information about the assistive technology
device needs to be included. If you have any questions or concerns,
please call us.
