Avery-Fuller-Welch Children’s Foundation Grant

The foundation’s grant program focuses on supporting low-income families by funding essential therapeutic services for their children (24 years of age or younger) diagnosed with a remedial disability. Grants cover a wide range of therapies, including:

• Speech Therapy and devices like hearing aids
• Psychotherapy
• Remedial Education
• Physical and/or Occupational Therapy, along with mobility and functionality aids

Funding is provided directly to service providers/practitioners to support therapy for eligible children. The program prioritizes grants based on:

• Demonstrated motivation among the child, their family, and the therapist, with therapists required to offer a discount and families encouraged to contribute financially if able
• A favorable prognosis for achieving independent functioning or significant progress toward defined goals within the grant's timeframe
• Financial need, specifically the inability to pay or secure full support from other sources

Grant amounts typically range from $3,000 to $10,000, with an average grant of $6,000.
