Oracle Health Foundation - Oklahoma ABLE Tech

Purpose

Oracle Health Foundation offers pediatric grants that provide funding for children to receive the healthcare they need.

To calculate your qualifying income, reference the first page of your most recent federal income tax return, take your adjusted gross income (AGI), and subtract out-of-pocket medical expenses for the child in the last 12 months. The sum will equal your qualifying income.
We always consider the adjusted gross income for both parents/guardians, if applicable. If parents/guardians are separated, we will request the adjusted gross income of the parent claiming the child as a dependent.

The child must be 21 years of age or younger (an individual 22 to 25 years old may be considered if they are receiving pediatric treatment).
The child must be under the care of a physician.
The request must be clinically relevant to a specific healthcare need of the child.
There must be no existing insurance coverage for the requested expenses.
Only one request per 12 months, per individual, is accepted for a maximum of three times in an individual’s lifetime.
Pediatric grants for clinical and equipment requests average $2,500 and do not exceed $17,000.

Clinical – Procedures, medicine, evaluations, etc.
