Program
Medical care
Anyone with medical expenses — from routine care to major treatment, at any income level.
IDA grants support medical costs that insurance or savings have not fully covered — hospital stays, ongoing treatment, prescriptions, specialist visits, and recovery. Describe the care, what remains unpaid, and how a one-time grant would be used.
If you are selected, you do not repay the award. Applying does not guarantee funds. Write plainly. Completeness matters more than perfect wording.
