Other Supports
Our Foundation offers a miscellaneous category for ”other supports,” which we are willing to review. However, please note that we typically do not consider funding services outside of those directly related to the individual’s developmental disability.
The Foundation serves as the payer of last resort, meaning that before requesting funding, individuals should explore options such as insurance, community resources, and Medicaid waivers. It’s important to note that all funding is dedicated exclusively to items and services directly supporting individuals with developmental disabilities. To be eligible for funding, individuals must be receiving services from Johnson County Board of Services (JCBS), and funding requests are made by our Targeted Case Managers.
