PRÓXIMAMENTEExpanding Access For Spanish-Speaking Families
Families should be able to understand financial advocacy resources in the language they are most comfortable using.
The Funding Project is expanding our Family Resource Library with Spanish-language Funding Guides and Companion Workbooks designed to help parents understand possible funding options, organize their child’s needs, prepare stronger requests, and take practical next steps.
Our Spanish NICU Companion Workbook is available now, with additional Spanish-language resources continuing to be added. Our goal is to make more of The Funding Project’s Family Resource Library accessible to Spanish-speaking families across the country.
¿Prefiere Hablar En Lugar De Leer?
If reading a guide or workbook feels difficult, families can still reach out. The Funding Project can help parents understand where to begin, talk through the resources, and identify practical next steps.
Si prefiere hablar en español o necesita ayuda para entender por dónde comenzar, comuníquese con The Funding Project.
Helping Organizations Reach More Families
These resources are also designed to support hospitals, health systems, patient advocacy organizations, nonprofits, sponsors, and corporate partners working to reach and better serve Spanish-speaking families.
Making financial advocacy information more accessible means helping more families know where to begin, what questions to ask, and what steps they can take next.
