Children's treatment centre fund for families
Eligibility check
The fund may help if your child is a current ErinoakKids client, household income is under $75,000, other funding is used up and you have not had a grant in the past 12 months. Four quick questions. Nothing you choose leaves this page.
Question 1 of 4
Your child is not a current ErinoakKids client.
Only families of current ErinoakKids clients can apply, and they apply with an ErinoakKids staff member. Other programs may help, depending on your situation.
Only ErinoakKids decides, and funding is not guaranteed. Questions: ask your child's ErinoakKids therapist, social worker or service navigator, or call ErinoakKids at 905-855-2690 or 1-877-374-6625.
Household income is $75,000 or more.
The fund asks for household income under $75,000 a year, before taxes and deductions, from your Notice of Assessment. Other programs may still help.

You received a grant from the fund in the last 12 months.

Other funding has not been used up yet.
The fund expects families to have used up other financial resources first. If insurance applies, you need a letter saying it will not cover the item; your service navigator can help you find what applies.

What can be covered
The fund also helps with medication, recreation, respite and emergency needs. Below are the items from its equipment list, grouped by what we supply.
Nothing in that group.
Before you buy
Talk to your ErinoakKids clinician before you buy, and bring a quote or invoice for each item to the application. The published pages do not say whether an item bought before approval can be funded, so ask first. The form lists payment by cheque to the family or to the vendor.
