Attention: All grants must come with a photo of the child, (the reason we ask for a photo of the child is that donors feel more comfortable about donating, once they see who the funds go to.  Also DO NOT FAX YOUR GRANT APPLICATION, NOR IT'S ATTACHMENTS - WE MUST HAVE ORIGINALS.  A denial from the health insurance, a letter of medical necessity for the item(s) being requested and/or an evaluation (this is definitely needed for assistive technology.) Once all of this information is received, it will be reviewed by our board, during their quarterly meetings. Please note that not all request can be filled, due to screening criteria and/or funding.  Please note:  we have been getting some wild request - so soon we'll have a "don't fund" list.  One obvious item would be medications, surgeries and varying therapies.  If you have questions, please do not hesitate to let us know. 

Please answer all questions. If the particular question does not apply to your child, use n/a. Please complete all sections and questions, providing us with the necessary attachments; then, mail it to the address below.

Anything else you want to add?___________________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Mail your grant request and the necessary documentation to:  Snap4kids, 520 W. 21st Street, Unit G-2/706, Norfolk, VA 23517.

Please include a letter of medical necessity for the item being requested.

Please include a price sheet and/or order form for the item being requested.

Please send a photo of the child that the item is being requested for (photos will not be used on our website.) 

Remember, the more medical documentation we have, the better.

Also, if you have a denial from your insurance company, we need that too.  Some items do not require a letter of denial (because universally, all insurance companies do not cover particular items.  However, with more insurance companies more items to save money, if you do not attach a denial from your insurance company, then we must have a denial from your child's doctor or therapist as to why the item is not covered under your health insurance plan(s).
If you are requesting assitive technology then we need a copy of your evaluation.
Think of anything else that you'd like to add then just write a letter and attach it to your grant request.
P.S.  Have a nice day!!

 
Since we have this really cute background design with pictures, I recommend that when you print out the grant application, that you highlight the part you have to send us and just print that "selection" under your printer options.  If you have trouble with this, please do not hesitate to let me know at pam@snap4kids.org.  Thank you.
