Quality of Life Grants Program 2nd Cycle 2015

Limited Submissions

The Quality of Life grants program, created by the late Dana Reeve, strives to empower individuals with disabilities and their families by providing grants to nonprofit organizations that improve quality of life through inclusion, access, independence, opportunities for community engagement, and other life-enhancing endeavors. Since the program’s inception in 1999, a total of 2,459 grants totaling over $18.3 million were awarded to organizations throughout the United States and beyond. Quality of Life grants have been awarded in all fifty states in the United States of America, and in 33 countries outside the United States of America.

 

 The Reeve Foundation awards Quality of Life grants up to $25,000 to organizations that provide services to individuals with paralysis.

 

Funding is awarded twice yearly to nonprofit organizations that provide critical life-enhancing and life-changing programs and services that improve physical and emotional health. Funded projects offer a diversity of services and approaches: improving access; providing education and job training; sponsoring organized sporting opportunities; and more to individuals living with paralysis and their communities.
