We put significant emphasis on income when making grant decisions, but we also realize that one’s family situation is not always explained by a number. This is why we ask for a description of family situation in the application. Families with annual household incomes below $75,000 will be considered first, but we do not automatically disqualify applicants because of incomes of $75,000 or more.

The iPad and other tablets are very useful tools. However, supplying tablets could easily be taken advantage of for non-assistive needs. We are happy to provide grants for communication apps or other assistive apps, but we are not in a position to provide grants for the iPad (or similar tablet) itself.
