Funding & grants for youth with disabilities
Sea MD partners with foundations, clinics, schools, nonprofits, and benefits organizations to fund week-long, accessible ocean experiences for youth living with Muscular Dystrophy, ALS, and related neuromuscular diseases. If you support families in the “need” category, we make sponsorship and documentation simple.
If you need invoicing, pledge schedules, restricted gifts, or internal approvals, use “Request Funding Packet” below.
