The primary focus of the Colburn-Keenan Foundation’s charitable giving programs is to provide assistance and support to individuals and families impacted by chronic inherited bleeding disorders or other chronic illnesses.

The Foundation’s individual grants are meant to help individuals and families meet their urgent medical, health insurance, basic survival, and quality of life needs. The Foundation’s individual grant program is not able to remedy, nor is it to be used for, chronic or long-term financial difficulties.

Grant requests are submitted in written form using the Foundation’s grant application. Applications for the individual grant program will be considered throughout the year. The application is available upon request or by downloading the current application through the link at the top of this page.

Once submitted, applications and documentation materials are reviewed on a rolling basis in the order that they are received.

Examples of appropriate grant requests include requests:

• to cover unexpected medical expenses

• to contribute towards medical insurance expenses

• to pay utility bills

• to purchase small appliances

• to cover the cost of transportation to treatment

• to pay rent

• to purchase Medic Alert jewelry
