Empowering Parents Grant

Empowering Parents is an Idaho program that provides grants of $1,000 per K-12 student, up to $3,000 per household. Families with an income of $60,000 or below are prioritized for this funding, however families with higher incomes are also encouraged to apply, as funds will be provided to other families if grant money is still available.

This is an awesome program that can provide some financial relief for families who need some extra help covering their copays for therapy! We have been approved as a vendor for this program to allow grant funds to pay for therapy at our clinic.
