Bellows Fund
Background
The Elsie S. Bellows Fund was established in 1995 to provide assistive technology equipment to financially needy individuals with disabilities. Earnings from the principal of this fund are allocated on an annual basis by United Cerebral Palsy to its affiliates (not-for-profit organizations that have a contract with UCP).
Purpose of the Fund
Assistive technology can play a major role in increasing the independence of individuals with disabilities. Such equipment can range from computer access devices to wheelchairs and augmentative communication aids. The Elsie S. Bellows Fund provides funds to UCP affiliates to purchase equipment which then becomes the property of the disabled person.
This program is available only through UCP affiliates. Please contact your local UCP for information on how to apply.
