Children and young adults under 21 who have a documented medical need for adaptive or assistive equipment.

Applicants must have received a denial, partial approval, or insufficient coverage determination from their insurance carrier. Equipt Foundation is not a substitute for insurance — we fill the gap when the system falls short.

We fund a broad range of adaptive and assistive devices, including mobility aids, communication devices, orthotics, and sensory equipment. All grants are based on documented medical necessity.

No. Eligibility is based on medical need and insurance status, not household income.

We review applications on a rolling basis and prioritize speed. Families pursuing equipment through insurance appeals can wait months for a resolution — often while a child's development, mobility, or communication is on hold. We aim to move significantly faster than that process, because the need doesn't pause while paperwork is pending.
