Arizona disability grants can help you finally get the wheelchair accessible van you need. It doesn’t matter whether you want to buy or lease. They can also go toward funding the installation of a ramp, a pivoting seating system, a scooter or wheelchair lift, driving hand controls and other equipment or conversions.
The resources below are your launching point for finding disability grants in Arizona for a handicap van. Various state government agencies and other groups are on-call to provide financial aid and other support. Some give you access to funding sources you might otherwise never learn about; some doll out grant money themselves, and can usually point you in the right direction for additional aid.
For more opportunities, talk to people at Arizona chapters of foundations and other nonprofits that deal with your specific disability. Many award grants, and all can help you locate other sources.
Mobility Consultations: If you are unsure about what type of conversion would be best for you — or would like assistance with finding financial resources, you can request a Free Needs Analysis and Mobility Consultation at any of The Mobility Resource dealer locations.
