Grantmaking
The Foundation For the Challenged provides grants as a means of supporting individuals with mental retardation and developmental disabilities to experience a quality community-based life. Grants made to individuals have been used to cover the cost of home-related expenses that occur with moving into a new community, such as rent and utility deposits, furnishings and other lifestyle necessities. Grants have been made to maintain an individual’s ability to live independently by covering the cost of home modifications such as wheelchair ramps and hand rails.
Thank you so much for the grants you awarded to the men in our homes. We are in the process of purchasing the items they requested in the grant. The men are so excited to be getting new furniture and items for the house. Your generous award enables the men to have a wonderful fresh start. The Foundation For the Challenged truly lives up to your logo “advancing quality of life.” With gratitude for making a difference in these men’s lives.
