Thank you for taking the time to submit this survey.

The funding for NCKDSS Grants comes from donations, NCKDSS fundraisers (Buddy Walk), individual Family fundraisers (Facebook birthday donations, Dimes for Down Syndrome, Crunch for Cause, Pizza Hut Gives Back, Family Feud, Batting for Down Syndrome, Horse Races, Ties & Tiaras, Boots & Bling, and T-Shirt sales are some from the past) and Memorials. Families receiving grant funds are required to assist in raising funds to ensure there will be continued support.

Eligibility

Grants are NOT based on the financial status of the family, and will be awarded based on availability in the fund. Receipt of a grant in one year does not guarantee receipt of a grant the following year. Recipients must be a resident of the NCKDSS Service area which includes Cloud, Clay, Republic, Smith, Ottawa, Saline, Lincoln, Washington, Jewell, Mitchell, and Dickinson Counties (some exceptions apply including participation Society events.)

Payment will be in the form of either reimbursement with proof of payment being submitted to the NCKDSS or proceeds being forwarded directly to the provider of the item or service being purchased.
