Family Grants
DSL Michigan offers $1,000, $3,500, and $5,000 grants to families raising a child with Down syndrome. Funds go directly toward therapy, medical needs, adaptive equipment, and everyday support.
Choose the level that best matches your need. Awards are based on need, available funds, and the strength of the application.
Help with immediate everyday needs — diapers, formula, co-pays, or a piece of adaptive equipment.
Cover a meaningful season of therapy, childcare, or larger equipment that insurance won't.
Significant medical, equipment, or housing modifications for families facing a heavy season.

Our grants committee reviews each application for need and available funds. We may follow up with a brief phone call.
We'll email you with a decision. Approved grants are paid by check or directly to the provider (therapist, vendor, etc.).
Beyond the grant, you're part of the DSL Michigan family. We're here for prayer, peer support, and connection.
Eligibility: Open to Michigan families raising a child with Down syndrome (prenatal through age 25). One grant per family per 12-month period. Funds may not be used for non-essential items.
