When funding falls short,we bridge the gap.
Emergency financial assistance and grants for individuals with neurological, developmental, learning, mental health, and medical needs — including epilepsy — when insurance, schools, and regional centers can't.
Removing financial barriers so individuals with neurological, developmental, learning, mental health, and medical needs — including epilepsy — can access services that support growth, independence, well-being, and opportunity across the lifespan.
What we do
Emergency assistance
Direct, fast-turnaround funding for families facing a time-critical need that no system will cover.
Service & equipment grants
Therapies, assistive technology, safety equipment, and supports that traditional funding misses.
Lifespan focus
We help children, teens, and adults — because needs don't end at 18, and neither does our support.
"I founded The Bridge the Gap Fund to help individuals with disabilities access essential services they otherwise couldn't afford. After more than 30 years working in special education, and living with epilepsy myself, I saw how often financial barriers stand between people and the support they truly need."
years our founder has spent inside special education and disability services
communities we serve — neurological, developmental, learning, mental health, medical
barriers we believe should stand between a person and life-changing support
Your gift becomessomeone's next step.
Every contribution removes a financial barrier and expands access to critical services — a therapy session, an assistive device, a piece of safety equipment, a chance.
We'd love to hear from you.
