NDAD also offers two other financial assistance programs targeting more specific needs:

The use of financial assistance funding is restricted by NDAD guidelines.
NDAD offers yet another option - the
Community Fundraisers Program - to help provide financial assistance using funds that are not generated by our organization but raised by community members on behalf of a person with a disability or health challenge. NDAD provides this service for no charge.
