Deadline: 14-Feb-22
Applications are now open for the John E. Fogarty Foundation Grant Program to improve the health and well-being for Rhode Islanders with disabilities.
The John E. Fogarty Foundation for Persons with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities seeks to support inclusive programs, research and organizations that provide services to improve and enhance the quality of life for Rhode Island individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Grants are awarded annually to Rhode Island non-profit organizations that work to integrate individuals with disabilities in community-based programs and services.
They fund innovative approaches that enhance the quality of life for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). In addition, they value collaborations between agencies and programs that merit replication based on evidence-based practices, efficiency and creativity. The Foundation does not typically fund capital expenses, fundraising events, vehicles or bricks and mortar campaigns.
