About medical equipment grants

Medical equipment grants help nonprofits and individuals obtain wheelchairs, mobility devices, assistive technology, and durable medical equipment that insurance won't fully cover. Funding comes from disease-specific organizations such as the Muscular Dystrophy Association and Cure SMA, equipment-focused charities, and state assistive technology programs authorized under the federal Assistive Technology Act. Many programs distribute refurbished equipment or operate loan closets rather than awarding cash.

A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow medical equipment grants down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

What grants are available for medical equipment?

Grants and assistance programs fund wheelchairs, scooters, communication and assistive technology devices, home modifications, and other durable medical equipment. Some provide direct funding, while many distribute refurbished equipment, run loan closets, or offer low-interest financing through state assistive technology programs. Both nonprofits serving people with disabilities and individuals in need may be eligible, depending on the program.

Who funds durable medical equipment and assistive technology?

Disease-specific nonprofits such as the Muscular Dystrophy Association and Cure SMA offer equipment grant programs for the people they serve, and equipment-refurbishing charities supply devices through volunteer and donor networks. State assistive technology programs, authorized under the federal Assistive Technology Act, provide device demonstrations, loans, reuse programs, and financing options. Community foundations and disability organizations fund additional access initiatives.

How can someone get help paying for medical equipment?

Start with your state's assistive technology program, which can connect you to loan closets, reuse programs, demonstrations, and low-interest financing for devices. If you have a specific diagnosis, check whether a disease-specific nonprofit offers an equipment grant for that condition. Nonprofits seeking to run equipment programs should pursue disability-focused foundations and partner with refurbishing networks, since many funders provide devices rather than cash.
