Staff are encouraged to apply to the Royal Rehab Foundation on behalf of clients experiencing financial hardship or their department, for funding grants. These applications go via a rigorous vetting process and the majority of time are granted.
It is only due to donors' kindness, generosity, and belief in a future where everyone can live their best possible life, that these funds can be made available to help make a profound difference on the lives of our clients with disability, injury, and/or illness.
