Quality of Life grants are awarded to organizations that work to improve the daily lives of people with paralysis and their caregivers. Projects and initiatives should foster inclusion, community engagement, and health and wellness.

Direct Effect Grants (Tier 1) support a wide range of projects and activities that will clearly and directly impact individuals living with paralysis and their families.

Priority Impact Grants support the Foundation's high priority issues for individuals living with paralysis. Current funding supports projects related to the impact of gun violence.

Expanded Impact Grants (Tier 5) for previously awarded grantees to support significant expansion of proven strategies and programs

Special consideration is given to projects that serve underserved populations including rural residents and tribal communities.
