Grants for Disability Projects
- There are many organizations across America that support other smaller organizations that help those with disabilities. Receiving a substantial grant can be beneficial not only for the specific organization and the members who are involved, but also communities as a whole, bringing awareness and community support.
- The Jay and Rose Phillips Family Foundation supports grants for people and organizations supporting people with unmet needs and with the least access to have those needs met. They offer two types of grants: Twin Cities Grants and Trustee Grants. The Twin Cities grants are for those located in the seven-county district of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, region. The Trustee Grants are available for organizations across the country where the families of donors have requested support in their own communities. Unsolicited applications are not available for Trustee Grants.
