Our focus is pediatric wellness, so examples would be a physical exam, vision exam and glasses, hearing tests, and dental exams and cleanings. These are all important procedures and can have a lasting impact on the lives of children.

It is our hope and goal to help as many young people under 18 as possible. The following limits apply: Physical exams up to $400, dental exams and cleaning up to $400, vision exams and eyeglasses up to $500, and hearing tests up to $300.

Applicants are encouraged to apply for the procedure(s) for which there is the greatest need.

The ten-minute application goes over basic contact information, available assistance, and details of the requested procedure.

During the application, you will be required to provide the procedure or service, estimated cost, and provider information. Please confirm this information with your provider prior to submitting your application.

Applications for 2026 are open! Applications will close May 15, 2026 at 5pmET. 

Yes! In your application, you have an opportunity to explain why this funding is necessary, regardless of employment.
