Supporting Documentation for grant requests

EFM requires a brief letter of medical necessity, with the patient's name, and the item recommended by their provider (PCM, Specialist, OT, PT, Speech, ABA, etc.) on office letterhead with a handwritten signature or a military digital signature to process applications. If you do not upload this within 30 days, we will archive this application.

A testimonial is required after you receive you grant. 

By applying, you confirm that you understand and agree to share a brief testimonial about your experience with this grant. These stories help us show the real impact of our programs and secure funding so we can continue supporting families like yours. If you prefer, we can share your testimonial anonymously. Only one testimonial is needed per family member who receives a grant, even if that individual receives more than one grant. Please note that continued eligibility for future grant opportunities may depend on submitting this feedback.
