There are currently 295 active quality of life grants in Grantable's free grants database, drawn from foundation sources and updated daily.
Quality of life grants fund programs that improve daily living, independence, and community participation for people facing disability, illness, aging, or other significant life challenges. Rather than funding research or a cure, these grants support practical, life-enhancing services — accessible recreation, caregiver support, assistive equipment, transportation, and community engagement. They are typically awarded to nonprofits that deliver direct services to a defined population.

A quality of life grant funds programs and services that enhance the everyday well-being, independence, and inclusion of people living with a disability, chronic condition, or other challenge — and often their families and caregivers. Typical uses include accessible recreation and sports, respite and caregiver support, assistive technology, peer programs, and community integration activities. The emphasis is on improving daily life now rather than on clinical research.
The best-known program is the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation Quality of Life Grants Program, which funds nonprofits serving people living with paralysis and their families through tiered grants for access, independence, and community engagement. Other quality of life funding comes from disease- and disability-specific foundations, hospital community-benefit programs, and community foundations that back direct-service organizations. Most require IRS 501(c)(3) status or a comparable public entity.
Eligible applicants are usually nonprofit, direct-service organizations — and sometimes governments, school districts, tribal entities, or hospitals — that serve the population a funder cares about. A competitive application clearly defines who is served, describes a concrete program with measurable outcomes, and shows how the work expands access, independence, or community participation for that group.
