QOL Grants | Jack Trottier Foundation A Simple Approach: Be There In the spring of 2022, we opened our QOL grants program to individuals throughout New England living with a traumatic spinal cord injury. These grants are essential in preparing for life outside of a hospital setting, and we look to aid in the recovery of an individual now faced with many mobility challenges.

Many pieces of equipment are not covered by insurance, and many go without necessities because of the inability to pay for them. We hope to play a small part in getting people back to normal daily living while creating independent solutions for many people who need them. Please see our grant application below.

Where insurance providers say no, JTF hopes to close the gap between purchasing necessary equipment and the inability to pay for them. Our grants focus on New England residents who have suffered a traumatic spinal cord injury. Any age is encouraged to apply.

Grants are approved and distributed directly to vendors and contractors for their services. Please send us a message if you need assistance completing our grant application. JTF can provide funding up to $7,500 towards equipment and modifications that promote independence and create a better quality of life.

See our grant application below! “Recently, my vehicle wheelchair lift stopped working and it had to be replaced. I was unable to get around or even out of my house to do regular errands.

The cost to replace the lift was out of my reach. However, I was able to secure a grant through the generosity of The Jack Trottier Foundation. My lift was replaced and I am back to being independent, getting to and from work on my own and doing everything I need to.

Thank you to the Jack Trottier Foundation. You made a difference in my life. ” Deirdre Dacey, 2026 Grantee Our flagship program is built to create a lasting impact on an individual recovering from SCI.
