Possibilities Grant Program

We are excited to announce our

Possibilities Grant Program!

The Possibilities Grant Program is designed to provide financial support to Black people living with ALS and Black caregivers. The grants are designed to offer (1) respite, (2) renewal, and (3) relief by covering costs that can help improve quality of life, support daily living needs, and promote mental and physical well-being.

Update as of July 2026:

Final Cycle of 2026: Applications are due on October 15, 2026

Beginning in 2027, the LEITH Lab will only offer two grant opportunities each year. Applications will open on March 15, 2027 for the first grant cycle and September 15, 2027 for the second grant cycle. Applications will be reviewed by the CAB following the close of each cycle, with funding decisions announced in May 2027 and November 2027, respectively.

Apply electronically through the electronic application submission form, or mail in your materials following the instructions on the Possibilities Grant Checklist!
