TRIAID is proud of our long standing working relationships with leading U.S. charities. These organizations provide funding for equipment and valuable advice for individuals with special needs throughout the country. We also cooperate with the many smaller local foundations, who perform wonderful work raising funds for individuals within their community.
TRIAID has prepared a list of potenial funding sources which contains the contact details of charities that currently provide or have recently provided assistance to purchase TRIAID products. The availability of funding cannot be guaranteed and the level of assistance can vary depending upon circumstances. Each charity will have a different application procedure so in each instance we recommond contacting the charity directly or would suggest visiting their websites - this will provide information regarding the application procedure, any criteria including income limits and waiting times.
In most instances, the charity will require a letter of support from a healthcare professional such as a physiotherapist, occupational therapist or doctor. TRIAID recommends that if possible a joint assessment should be carried out with the heathcare professional, this will help to ensure the correct piece of equipment is being requested.
