The Walter F. Goodnough Trust offers a grant program dedicated to supporting the rehabilitation of underprivileged disabled children. The foundation's mission is fundamentally aligned with improving the health and well-being of this vulnerable population by providing funding for hospitalization within the state of Florida. This grant program is a vital part of the trust's philanthropic efforts, addressing a critical need in the healthcare sector for children facing both disability and financial hardship. The primary beneficiaries of this program are underprivileged disabled children in Florida who require hospitalization for rehabilitation. The overarching impact goal is to facilitate their recovery and significantly improve their quality of life by offering financial support for necessary medical interventions. The trust focuses its priorities on health-related programs and is committed to ensuring that eligible 501(c)(3) exempt organizations can secure funding to serve these children effectively. While the trust's grant description does not explicitly state detailed expected outcomes or measurable results beyond the term "rehabilitation," the implicit outcome is the improved health and functional abilities of the children served. Success for the program is likely measured by the number of children assisted, the specific types of rehabilitation services provided, and potentially the duration or effectiveness of their hospitalization and subsequent recovery. The foundation typically issues grants ranging from $2,500 to $5,000, with an average total giving of $15,000 per year, indicating a focus on supporting individual or smaller-scale rehabilitation projects. The foundation's strategic priorities are sharply focused on direct impact within Florida's healthcare landscape, specifically targeting disabled children. Their theory of change posits that by providing financial grants directly to qualified organizations, they can enable crucial access to rehabilitation services that underprivileged families might otherwise be unable to afford. This focused approach is underscored by the geographic limitation to Florida and the specific program area of Health, addressing a defined set of community needs.
