We are excited to spotlight the outstanding efforts of the Blanche Fischer Foundation (BFF) and their Individual Grant Program, a vital resource for Oregonians that aligns perfectly with our mission to connect individuals to the resources needed for independent living.
The BFF Individual Grant Program provides financial assistance to Oregon residents with permanent physical disabilities, enabling them to obtain essential tools and modifications that enhance their quality of life.
Eligibility requirements include being a permanent Oregon resident, having a medically verified permanent physical disability, and demonstrating financial need.
The grant offers up to $1,500 per award, with individuals eligible to reapply every three years.
Applications are accepted year-round and reviewed quarterly. Funding may cover assistive devices and technology, accessibility modifications, durable medical equipment, and therapeutic tools or programs. For items exceeding $1,500, BFF contributes its portion only after proof of full payment for the remaining balance.
However, the grant does not cover expenses such as rent, utilities, general healthcare costs, or items purchased prior to application submission. This program is a powerful tool for fostering independence and showcases the impactful work of our community partners. Eligible individuals are encouraged to explore the details and apply.
Thank you Blanche Fischer Foundation!
