“Ralph Braun passed away in 2013. In 2010, Braun recognized that he was getting thousands of requests from people who wanted accessible vehicles but who couldn’t afford to purchase them. He wanted to be able to help everyone who needed an accessible vehicle, but he recognized that was an impossible dream. So, he created The Ralph Braun Foundation as a non-profit and a way to offer grants to as many people as possible and to help try and bridge the gap between the people who couldn’t afford a vehicle and the need for an accessible vehicle.
The requirements are that the purchase of a vehicle must be made through a NMEDA dealer. And, our funding is not specific to Braun products. Ralph’s mission was to serve the needs of people with disabilities to get accessible vehicles to meet their specific needs.
You can learn how to apply for one of the grants by going to The Ralph Braun Foundation website (www.ralphbraunfoundation.org). The foundation also will fund new or used accessible vehicles. We post four funding cycles per year with those funding cycles open for one month. You can submit your application in one of these funding cycles. The announcement of who receives the funding grants will be announced two weeks after the cycle. All applications have to be sent in electronically.
