The 2024 Harry Allen Gregg Foundation Grant Program is designed to provide financial assistance to individuals and families in New Hampshire facing physical, developmental, or emotional disabilities. While the foundation's specific mission statement is not explicitly detailed in the provided text, the grant program's focus on supporting those with long-term barriers to daily living and significant mental health issues strongly aligns with a mission to enhance the quality of life and promote independence for individuals with disabilities. The program's commitment to offering a range of funding opportunities, from medical treatments to educational and vocational support, indicates a holistic approach to addressing the diverse needs of its target population. The target beneficiaries for this grant program are New Hampshire residents who have physical, developmental, or emotional disabilities. This includes individuals with conditions that present long-term barriers to independently accomplishing tasks of daily living, adults diagnosed with Severe and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI) such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and borderline personality disorder, and children with significant mental health issues impacting their daily functioning. Additionally, individuals with acquired intellectual/cognitive disabilities from brain injury, dementia, developmental delays, or significant learning disabilities are eligible. The impact goal is to alleviate financial burdens associated with these conditions and enable beneficiaries to access crucial services, equipment, and opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach. The program prioritizes a broad spectrum of needs, including non-reimbursed medical or therapy treatments, continuing education or career development, specialty equipment, respite services, computers and adaptive software, camp tuition, recreational activities, vocational and academic classes, specialized driver evaluation and training, and modifications to living areas, work sites, or vehicles. Grant sizes typically range from $1,000 to $10,000, although individual grants are limited to $1,200, with specific caps for certain categories like medical costs, computers, and vehicle repairs. The ongoing review and award process for camp tuition and recreational activities, with a note about early application, suggests a strategic focus on supporting children's well-being. While specific measurable results are not explicitly outlined, the expected outcomes of the Harry Allen Gregg Foundation Grant Program can be inferred from the types of funding provided. These outcomes likely include improved access to critical medical and therapeutic care, enhanced educational and vocational opportunities leading to greater independence, increased availability of necessary adaptive equipment, reduced caregiver burden through respite services, and improved living conditions or mobility through modifications and vehicle repairs. The foundation's theory of change appears to be that by providing targeted financial assistance, it can directly address the practical challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, thereby fostering greater self-sufficiency and overall well-being. The emphasis on specific funding limits and acceptable purposes indicates a strategic approach to ensure the funds are utilized effectively and for the intended impact.
