The grants most disabled people never hear about.
Equipment, housing mods, independent living, adaptive tech.
The federal government alone disburses roughly $40 billion a year directly to individuals — not organizations. A meaningful slice of that goes to disabled adults and their families for things that insurance, Medicaid waivers, and SSDI don''t cover: a new wheelchair, a ramp, a communication device, a car modification, a year of independent-living support.
Most of it goes unclaimed. Not because the programs are hidden, but because the grant landscape is impossible to navigate without a development officer, and most disabled people don''t have one.
That''s what Grantd is for.
What we''ll help you find
- ABLE account supports — match state-administered programs and tax-advantaged contributions you qualify for.
- Adaptive equipment funding — national programs like United Spinal, Challenged Athletes, and state vocational rehab.
- Housing modifications — ramps, bathroom retrofits, door widening (federal, state, and many local programs).
- Employment and training — VR programs, disability-specific workforce grants.
- Independent living services — respite, attendant care, transportation.
About sharing information with us
We''ll ask whether you want to self-identify and which broad categories apply (mobility, sensory, cognitive, chronic illness). This is optional. You can skip it and still see general grants. If you do share it, we only use it to filter matches — we never pass it to funders without a specific per-application opt-in from you. You can delete it any time from Settings.
Scam warning — read this once, keep it in mind
If any "grant" program asks you to pay an application fee, wire money, buy gift cards, or "unlock funds" — it is a scam, always. Legitimate disability-related grants never require upfront payment. Grantd automatically flags listings with these patterns, but if you see one on another site, close the tab.
Let''s find your first match.
