by Permobil Foundation
The Permobil Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Permobil, a global leader in advanced rehabilitation technology. It channels resources into grant programmes and equipment donations that expand access to life-changing mobility devices for individuals and organisations in underserved communities worldwide.
The foundation runs grant programmes enabling individuals with mobility disabilities to obtain power wheelchairs and complex seating systems when insurance is denied or insufficient. It also donates equipment to partner organisations, sponsors adaptive sports events, and supports clinicians delivering mobility services in low-resource settings. Applicants can submit grant requests directly through the foundation's website.
Individuals with spinal cord injury, ALS, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, and other conditions requiring power wheelchairs or complex seating who face financial or insurance barriers to accessing that equipment.
