Grant Opportunity

The HobbleJog Foundation was created to help improve the quality of life for individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Our primary focus is to support proven and innovative post-acute services that strengthen the independence, productivity and well-being of TBI survivors. We provide grants on a national scale to qualified organizations that provide post-acute resources.

Grants are typically between $5,000 and $15,000 for one year. For 2023, the HobbleJog Board has agreed to award two grants. The first grant will be awarded on April 25, 2023. The deadline to apply is midnight, Eastern time on March 31st, 2023. Awards will be announced April, 25, 2023 at 5:00 Eastern time.

Post-Acute Services

Post-acute services include but are not limited to; technology services to assist in the regaining of memory, focus, and goal-setting functions, neuropsychological evaluations and interventions, adjustment counseling services, stress interventions, vocational training, transitional home, and community support.

Examples of past grant funding include:

  6. Brain Education Strategies & Technology (BEST). The BEST grant helped fund a pilot iOS app training program to help 10 young adults with brain injuries return to school or the workforce. BEST is a non-profit organization with a national focus on helping traumatic brain injury survivors regain their independence and productivity.

Eligibility Requirements
