Frequently Asked Questions

What federal agencies fund disability programs?
The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is the primary funder for disability and aging services. The Department of Education funds vocational rehabilitation and special education. HHS funds disability research and services. The Department of Labor supports disability employment programs through the Office of Disability Employment Policy.
Are there grants for disability-owned businesses?
Yes. Service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs) qualify for government contract set-asides and specific grant programs. The SBA and state agencies offer programs for entrepreneurs with disabilities. Foundations like the National Organization on Disability and various corporate programs also fund disability entrepreneurship.
Can individuals with disabilities get grants?
Many grants target organizations rather than individuals, but some programs provide direct assistance — including assistive technology grants, home modification funding, education scholarships, and vocational training grants. State vocational rehabilitation agencies are often the best starting point for individual disability grants.
