Special Angels Foundation Mini Grant Program

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU COMPLETE THE APPLICATION

Due to the overwhelming response to our grant program, we have reached our limit for out of state grants requests and are temporarily suspending applications from outside California. We will update our site once the application process becomes available. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Special Angels Foundation provides grants for the benefit of children with special needs. If you have insurance, please submit your request to your insurance first. If you are denied for your request, please include the denial letter or email with your grant request.

Special Angels Foundation prioritizes support for therapy within the applicants’ network which ensures that individuals receive accessible and affordable care. There are a few exceptions to this rule which will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Specifically, we cover therapy expenses within the applicants established network which reduces the cost of copays and deductibles coming out of pocket. We do not cover “Out of Network” expenses or Past Due Bills. Please submit your most recent statement verifying that there is no outstanding balance due when you send proof of your childs disability. Your application will not be processed until we receive this information. If the requested information is not received with 10 days, you will have to re-apply and your application will receive a new submission date which will be the date you reapply.

We do not provide grants for Cubby beds, Wonder Wagons or sensory equipment

It’s important to note that “Out of Network” therapy expenses usually cost families more and don’t contribute towards meeting the “In Network” deductibles.

This approach allows us to maximize its impact by focusing on “In Network” resources while maintaining financial clarity for those seeking therapy within these guidelines.
