Christopher Reeve Foundation Quality of Life Grants

Quality of Life grants (up to $25k) support non-profit organizations that address the needs of persons living with paralysis (particularly spinal cord injury), their families and caregivers. Funding is awarded in thirteen categories, including: accessibility, advocacy, arts, assistive technology, children, counseling, education, employment, health promotion, independent living, practical service, sports and recreation, and therapeutic riding. Except for the health promotion category, the primary focus of the Quality of Life grants is paralysis caused by spinal cord injury. To qualify for funding, a non-profit organization does not have to exclusively serve people with spinal cord injuries; however, at least a portion of the population served must have spinal cord injuries. All Applications must be submitted online through the program website - not by e-mail, mail or fax. The 2nd Cycle 2008 online application opens on or about July 8, 2008. The deadline is September 2, 2008 at 11:59 ET.
