Bellows Fellows Grant
United Cerebral Palsy of Maine, based in Bangor, seeks applicants for its Bellows Fellows grants. The UCP National Office manages the Elsie S. Bellows Trust, distributing funds to its affiliates such as UCP of Maine, which then awards grants to successful applicants to fund assistive technology for people with disabilities. Click here for the application.
Applicants must document need for the equipment. The Bellows Fellows award must be considered the funding source of last resort. Strong candidates demonstrate (1) clear documentation that all funding sources available had been exhausted, (2) a portion of the costs are covered through self payment, co-payments, or waiver program, (3) a thorough evaluation documenting the need for the equipment, and (4) a clear and convincing statement by the person or caregivers regarding the need.
