New program

ALS families: a $5,000 grant for ramps, bathrooms and equipment, open through Nov 30

The Brigance Brigade Foundation's PALS grant pays up to $5,000 a year for in-home care, equipment and home accessibility (bathrooms, ramps, door widening, generators) for people with ALS or PLS. Maryland comes first; other states are considered case by case, and a social worker must sign. This cycle runs Sept 1 to Nov 30, 2026.
