December 28, 2012 – New Story is accepting applications for the 2013 New Story Fund from January 1 through January 31, 2013, at www.NewStory.com.
The New Story Fund distributes $50,000 annually in the form of awards to families in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Families can be nominated for an award of up to $1,500 each year.
The New Story Fund is designed to help children and families who are faced with the following challenges: autism spectrum disorder (ASD), emotional support needs, mental retardation or other developmental disabilities. The New Story Fund helps families that do not have the funds to access products and services needed to best support their children. Examples include durable medical equipment, therapy services, prescriptions, after-school care, home/safety modifications, camp tuition, among many others.
“We are delighted to announce that we are accepting applications for the 2013 New Story Fund. The New Story Fund helps families gain additional resources they need to help their children live good lives,” said Paul Volosov, Ph.D., founder and president of New Story. “We understand the financial burden that comes with supporting children with varying diagnosis and the challenges related to it. Our hope is for the New Story Fund to help alleviate some of the financial burden and provide assistance to these children and their families in order for them to write new stories of growth and success.”
New Story created the New Story Fund to reinforce its commitment to the communities in which it serves. Members of the community are encouraged to submit an application for themselves, or to nominate an individual or family in need. Nominees must meet the following criteria to be eligible for the New Story Fund:
Nominee must be a legal resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The nominee must be between the ages of birth and 21.
Nominee must be faced with one (or more) or the following challenges: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), emotional support needs, mental retardation or other developmental disability.
The nomination application must be completed in its entirety, including why the nominee needs help from New Story and specifically what will be purchased with the fund. Examples include durable medical equipment, therapy services, prescriptions, after-school care, camp tuition, among many others.
If the cost of the product/service being requested exceeds the amount granted from the Fund then the nominator will be required to provide documentation to cover the remaining cost of the product/service.
