Charitable Grant Application - Bryon Riesch Foundation

About this program

Bryon Riesch Paralysis Foundation awards charitable grants (reviewed quarterly in January, March, June, and September) to fund specific adaptive equipment or modifications for individuals with spinal cord injury or related disorders—examples include wheelchair upgrades and maintenance, vehicle modifications such as hand controls or lifts, and small home modifications like ramps or lifts (vehicles themselves are not funded). Grants are disbursed directly to suppliers; applicants must provide estimates from local vendors (internet quotes not accepted) and partial payments toward larger items are only considered if the remaining balance is already secured. Applicants must be U.S. residents who demonstrate medical necessity and financial need (Wisconsin residents given priority), submit complete applications with required documentation, and will be contacted only if awarded.
