Finding Funds

An online resource of available grants and directory of local and nationwide organizations to help secure funding not always covered by insurance plans.

Grant and Funding Sources

The iTaalk Autism Foundation maintains a database of more than 650 organizations that offer grants and funding. You can search the database for grants that pertain to a certain diagnosis, a particular therapy, a piece of equipment or even resources that are state-specific. For more information, reach out Tammy Eisenreich, Vice President of iTaalk and Parent Support for the Lucas County Board of Developmental Disabilities, via email at teisenreich@lucasdd.org or by phone at 419-356-3824.
