A calm place to explore financial support, grants, and relief options if you're caring for someone, living with CADASIL or another chronic illness, or rebuilding after a stroke. This is a starting point—not a guarantee—but you shouldn't have to search alone.
Grants are the layer on top. The larger, more permanent money — paying a family caregiver through a Medicaid waiver, unclaimed benefits, stacked household programs — is in the funding navigator.

This navigator is designed to help you explore options—not to replace professional financial or legal advice. Grant availability, eligibility, and deadlines change frequently. Always verify details directly with the sponsoring organization.
The Goodyear Foundation does not administer these grants directly. We curate this list as a service to our community and update it as we learn of new opportunities.
