Apply for Assistance

At Missouri KIDS, we’re here to help young student-athletes in Missouri who have experienced life-altering, permanent injuries. If your child or a student you know is in need of support, we invite you to apply for assistance.

We provide funding and resources in four key areas:

  • Adaptive Equipment

  • Accessible Vehicles and Modifications

  • Home Modifications

  • Education and Personal Development Support

Our goal is to meet each recipient where they are—with the tools and support needed to regain independence, confidence, and hope.

Eligibility Criteria

Group of five people, including a young man in a wheelchair, standing together in a room with white walls and a concrete floor, smiling for a photo. Three men and one woman are standing, with the young man seated in the wheelchair.

To be eligible for assistance, applicants must:

  • Reside in the state of Missouri

  • Have sustained a permanent physical disability due to injury

  • Have been actively involved in sports at the time of injury

  • Demonstrate a need for one or more forms of support (equipment, accessibility, education, etc.)

Proof of Eligibility

Applicants must submit the following:

  • Missouri KIDS Online Application

  • Diagnostic Statement from Physician

  • Verification of Sports Participation from Coach or Athletic Director

Each application and supporting documentation is reviewed by the Missouri KIDS Board of Directors. Awards are based on eligibility and resources available.
