Empowering Possible Grant
The Region V Foundation is excited to announce the Empowering Possible Grant.
The purpose of this grant is to provide a level of support for an individual where there has been no support previously. This grant will provide funding for experiences or adaptive equipment needs not covered by other funding sources.
Acceptable uses of grant funding would be once-in-a-lifetime trips, local experiences, accessibility modifications to homes, and adaptive vans or equipment.
The Empowering Possible Grant is open to any individual supported by Region V Services or living in Nebraska who has an intellectual or developmental disability.
The Region V Foundation recognizes that emergencies happen at any time and will have emergency funding available throughout the year. If you experience such an event and are in need, please reach out to the Region V Foundation at any time even if the submission period has closed.
The funding for this grant is made possible by donations from our friends, family, and community supporters.
