Grants & Sponsorships

Q: If my organization requests more than the typical grant/sponsorship provided, will that request automatically disqualify our application from consideration?

We frequently provide partial funding and the overall amount of the ask is not a disqualifying factor when reviewing submissions.

Q: Are all applications approved?

Unfortunately, we are unable to fund all submissions. Funding determinations are provided via email and will be sent to the primary applicant via our application portal.

Q: What are the primary reasons for which funding requests are denied?

Our budget is the primary reason for denial of funding. However, incomplete applications and lack of information concerning how funds would specifically be used to support those with mobility-related disabilities would also be potential reasons for denial.

Q: Can I meet with the Numotion Foundation to discuss my application/funding request?

Organizations may request a meeting to discuss their submission/future submission by emailing justin.richardson@numotionfoundation.org. However, due to the overwhelming number of organizations requesting meetings, it may not be possible to meet with all organizations prior to grant determination.

Q: If a chapter/affiliate of a Numotion Foundation National Partner, can we still apply for funding?

Though applications from chapters/affiliates of national partners are accepted, funds provided through our national partnership agreement will be considered and may decrease the likelihood of approval.

Q: Does the Numotion Foundation provide funding for organizations serving those with disabilities beyond mobility-related disabilities?

While the Numotion Foundation does not deny funding for organizations serving those living with disabilities in general, we do prioritize organizations supporting those living with mobility-related disabilities.

Q: What is expected of our organization if funding is provided?

If funded, the Numotion Foundation will ask for your participation in our Impact Story program, which promotes both the work being done by your organization and the impact of our funding on the communities we jointly serve. We would also ask that the recipient org acknowledge support on their social media channels and tag the Numotion Foundation.

The 2025 grant application program is now open.

“The Numotion Foundation’s generosity helped provide art descriptions for each artwork, American Sign Language interpreters for the online artist interviews, printing of digital files, and return shipping for the artworks. This made the exhibit accessible to Blind, low vision, Deaf, and hard of hearing folks as well as disabled artists who might not otherwise be able to afford to take part in the show. I can’t thank you enough for the support!”
