    States with published funding entries

    The money questions we organise around

    Each state page groups its resources under the question a family actually asks.

    • Medicaid waivers and home-based supports

      Is there a waiver that pays for support at home instead of in a facility?

    • Paying for a caregiver or a support budget

      Who pays for someone to help care for my child, including me?

    • Health coverage and medical bills

      How do we get medical care and equipment covered?

    • Monthly benefits and cash support

      Is there money that comes to our family every month?

    • Savings accounts and tax help

      How do we save money without losing benefits, and what can we claim on taxes?

    • Help with fees, bills and travel costs

      We already have a bill or a fee. Is there help with it?

    • Grants and scholarships from organizations

      Can a nonprofit help pay for equipment, camp or therapy?

    A state only shows a group once we have published something real in it. We would rather show a short page than a padded one, because a wrong funding detail costs a family money.
