The Enrichment Foundation Makes Grant to UCP of NE

The Enrichment Foundation selected UCP of Nebraska as a “partner” to administer grants to benefit individuals with a disability. These grants could provide funding for things such as adaptive devices, medical equipment or respite care.

To qualify for The Enrichment Foundation’s guidelines, individuals must:

1. reside in Douglas or Sarpy County
2. have a major physical disability
3. have fully utilized relevant available funding options.

With this additional funding available for the Greater Omaha Area, UCP of Nebraska’s Client Assistance Grant Program can now better serve individuals with a disability statewide.

UCP of Nebraska provides limited grants to qualified families and individuals with disabilities to promote independence and encourage empowerment. These grants help with things such as purchasing adaptive equipment, removing barriers in the home and providing scholarships for special programs or conferences.

A committee of the Board of Directors meets bi-monthly to review applications and approve funding based on the following criteria:

• promotion of independence
• support of family
• enhancement of mobility

For more information or to receive an application for either program, contact Anne Brodin at 502-3572 or 1-800-729-2556.
