As part of our goal to support people living with Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, FOP Australia is proud to launch the second round of our Support Grant Program to enable people with FOP (or their direct caregivers) to apply for direct financial support for items or activities that help them live with FOP.
This round of grants is now open and will close on the 31st of May 2020.
Printable copies of the application form are attached here, and can be sent back to info@fopaustralia.org marked CONFIDENTIAL in the subject heading. As we understand some people may have limited access to printing and scanning facilities we are also trialing an online application form, which is accessible here using the password Grant1.
Please read the full Terms Of Reference before applying.
We are grateful to our independent panel of experts who will assess and rank the applications:
- Dr Felicity Collins, Geneticist, Sydney Children’ Health Network
- Mrs Georgie Hyder, Occupational Therapist, Central and Northern Adelaide Health Service
- Ms Michelle Davis, Executive Director, International FOP Association
The returning officer for this round of grants will be Jada Carr assisted by Lydia Scott.
Jada Carr has volunteered her time to assist in this process which will remove the issue of the returning officer and their immediate family being unable to apply for a grant. For this round of grants Jada will be assisted by Lydia Scott. All applications will be confidential and only accessed by Jada and Lydia.
If you have any questions about the program please do not hesitate to email us at info@fopaustralia.org
