Joey’s Fund Family Grant, a program of the Doug Flutie Jr.
Foundation for Autism, awards grants of up to $2,000 ($3,000 if there is more
than one family member with autism) to families affected by autism in New
England (Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire and
Maine) who need financial assistance.
Grants can be used for one service or item that directly
improves the life of an individual with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Some
examples of items that could be covered by the grant include respite care, recreational
programs, horseback riding lessons, educational consulting, educational
evaluation, art classes, books, educational videos, computer software,
therapies, advocacy fees, camp tuition, safety fencing, service dogs, social
skills training, music therapy and musical instruments.
Applications are available on the program Website in early
February and are due by early March. Required documentation includes most
recent tax information, confirmation of diagnosis and a letter of reference.
