At RAD-Innovations we regularly work with a variety of organizations that offer grants and funding. Through our RAD Adaptive programming we help connect people with resources that can help them get rolling again. We also offer video fittings and demos!
We are happy to speak with you if you're looking to connect the dots between the adaptive cycling equipment that suits your needs and the opportunities for funding that fit your situation. Please explore the resources that we have gathered and/or give us a call at 802-382-0093.

Insurance Some insurance companies provide funding for adaptive equipment. A typical process involves getting a "letter of medical justification" from your doctor and working with your insurance provider to determine whether you are eligible for funding.
We hope this list of resources is helpful; we're constantly looking for sources of funding and other help for the adaptive cycling and frame running communities. If you know of an organization that's not listed here, we'd love to hear from you.
