Frequently Asked Questions

All families with a child diagnosed with autism are welcome to apply. Annual income is not a deciding factor in the approval process.

If you are unable to upload a document(s), please continue to submit application online and email document(s) to grants@carlosvieirafoundation.org.

Once an application and all required documentation is received, the grant review board will determine whether or not you have been approved or if additional information is needed. A letter will be mailed or emailed to you within 30 days noting the status of your application. If you are sent an email/letter requesting additional information, you will have a period of 6 weeks to submit the requested documentation. If you do not submit the documentation requested by the deadline noted on the email/letter, your application will automatically be closed.

You will receive a confirmation email when you submit your online application. When you mail your application, request delivery confirmation or a return receipt from the post office.

The maximum amount we can award per child is $500 per year.

At no time are funds transferred to families. All grants awarded are paid directly to the vendor and/or service provider. When filling out the grant application, you must be VERY specific on the items needed, where to buy them, and the estimated cost for each item. If money is requested for medically related bills, the billing information and amount is required.

The guidelines of this grant do not allow payment for anything other than bills or materials that are directly related to your child with autism.
