Yes, there are different types of wheelchair van grants available, including government grants, nonprofit organization grants, and grants offered by private foundations. Each type of grant may have its own eligibility criteria, application process, and funding limitations.
How long does it take to receive approval for wheelchair van grants?

What happens if my wheelchair van grant application is denied?

Will my health insurance cover the cost of my mobility vehicle?

Be sure to contact your local BraunAbility dealer about funding at the state and local level. They are experts in knowing what options exist to help you achieve your independence.
