Lump-Sum Grants
One-time lump-sum grants are paid directly to an individual or to the
provider of a service and they cover a wide array of items and expenses.
Among them: motorized wheelchairs; wheelchair-accessible vehicles;
medical procedures and therapies not covered by insurance; and voice-recognition
computers for quadriplegics.
Monthly Assistance Program
Monthly Assistance Program recipients receive grants on a monthly
basis to help cover ongoing expenses such as rehabilitation
services, home health care aides or even basic needs such
as prescription medications. Each Monthly Assistance Program
case is re-evaluated
periodically to update the health and financial status of
program
participants.
Cooperation With Other Charities
Working in concert with similarly chartered organizations often
helps these providers fulfill their mission of benevolence
whenever individuals in need seek their assistance. These
organizations include the Don MacBeth
Memorial Jockey Fund, local councils of the Race Track Chaplaincy
of America, various racetrack HBPA's and the New York Racing
Association’s
Backstretch Employee Services Team, among others.
