Medical Equipment Funding
BC Rehab Foundation
BC Rehab continued to fulfill our mission to assist individuals whose lives are affected by a physical disability. We assist British Columbians living with a broad range of disabilities as the result of a disease or trauma.
We know by the letters and reports we receive how much of a difference even just one piece of equipment can make in a person’s journey toward personal independence. From a manual wheelchair that will improve an individual’s ability to access their community to funding adaptive outdoor recreation programs for participants with disabilities, BC Rehab is there for people who might otherwise fall through the cracks. BC Rehab continues to disburse funding and provide support to individuals, organizations and programs throughout the province.
This application is intended for individual funding requests from persons with physical disabilities.
Our organization funds a range of new and used equipment and will consider even the most obscure devices if they will assist an individual in their quality of life and personal mobility.
