Many families have benefited from funding assistance: Family Support Fund: This fund is used by families who self-identify a need related to their child's diagnosis. It can be used for equipment, therapies, emergency childcare, camp, or any other need as it relates to the child's diagnosis and is not otherwise covered by insurance or Medicaid. The Family Support Fund is primarily composed of resources from: Brookes Baker Trust, Tom Sustic Fund, Doug Flutie Foundation, and the Vermont Department of Children and Families. Conference Fund: Parents may request funds from Parent to Parent to attend conferences relating to their child's disability or special need. Support Group Fund: This fund is designed to assist parents with the start-up costs of launching a support group in a specific geographic area or by diagnosis. Funding is available for advertising, speakers, refreshments, space rental, etc. The Support Group Fund is made possible by the VT Dept. of Health Respite Fund: Parent to Parent has a grant from the Agency of Human Services for flexible respite funding through the Prevention Committee of Children and Family Council for Prevention Programs.
