The NICU Funding Guide is available to download Free!

Written by The Funding Project’s founder Tammy Simmons, The NICU Funding Guide is a roadmap to finding financial hope through generous giving. It provides valuable information, heart-warming inspiration stories, step-by-step guidance to fundraising, and a comprehensive list of organizations that can support NICU parents’ (and their communities’) efforts to provide for their child’s’ medical needs.

What We Do

The Funding Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides the necessary tools, education, and inspiration to help families raise funds for products, equipment, services, and therapies not covered by insurance. We use a proven method that has brought relief and much-needed resources to parents, caregivers, and compassionate healthcare providers. 

 

By the age of 21, infants requiring NICU care and children with disabilities, autism, or cancer  need dozens of items or services to facilitate participation and independence.  Medical insurance covers some, but not all, of these costs, and families are frequently faced with out-of-pocket expenses that cause financial pressure and stress, and which sometimes preclude access to these important items.

We offer guidance on finding funding and overcoming these economic barriers.

In addition to the book, we also provide families with the "NICU Fundraising Care Pack." By making this care pack available to every family in the NICU, we aim to alleviate their financial concerns and ensure that they have the support they need from Day One.

"If only I had learned about this guide when visiting our many specialists in the Medical Centers we visited in the crucial early years. We could have saved ourselves so much grief, anxiety, and stress. I believe this funding guide should be a staple in all Social Worker's and Physical Therapist's offices so they can hand it to families coming in raising medically complex children."
