You can make a difference!

The NILP Independence Fund is a critical safety net for people with disabilities who wish to live independently in the community.

The NILP Independence Fund pays for things like:

  • First month’s rent, furniture or moving expenses when transitioning from nursing homes and other facilities into home or community-based living.
  • Assistive technology such as power wheelchairs, prosthetic devices and computer software.
  • Home or vehicle modifications such as ramps, chairlifts and other adaptive technologies.
  • Other emergency situations for which no other sources of support exist.

You can help thousands of people with disabilities in Northeastern Massachusetts regain or retain their independence and equality in the community!
