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

What Parents Tell Us
"When my newborn baby was in the NICU and fighting for her life, the social worker walked in and handed me a resource book. She said it would help me with my child's needs. It was more a pamphlet and there was nothing in there that would help with the much-needed funds that I found out rather quickly were not in the resource they gave me. If I had been handed Tammy's Funding Guide, it would have changed my life."
Carly Johanson
Mom to Jaden (St. Louis, Missouri)
"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."
Melissa Copp
Mom of Calan and Lawson (Waco, Texas)
"If I was given a copy of the Funding Guide when my child was born it would have changed our lives for the better and we would not have lost almost everything due to the financial burden from our enormous amount of medical expenses."
