Direct Service Funding Opportunity
Applications will be accepted through January 3, 2018  
PATH Intl. is proud to announce that the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has received grants from the Adaptive Sports Programs for Disabled Veterans and Disabled Members of the Armed Forces for the fourth consecutive year.

For the period of February 1 - August 30, 2018, PATH Intl. will provide $267,187.50 in reimbursements for direct participation in equine-assisted activities and therapies at PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Centers.
Criteria to Apply
  • Be a PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Center in good standing.
  • Funding must be used for Veterans and Armed Services Members (VSM) who are not already receiving funding from VA Medical Center or other funding source. This grant does not allow for duplicate payments.
  • Be able to submit the approved attendance forms and follow procedures for reimbursement on a monthly basis, following a reimbursement schedule outlined by PATH Intl. Funding must be spent by August 30, 2018. 
  • Administer PATH Intl.'s post-session survey to each participating VSM for outcomes tracking purposes.
  • If the center's application is accepted, center must be able to submit a signed center agreement form.
  • Be able to provide testimonials from VSM participants in EAAT lessons.
Direct Service Delivery Information and Reporting Requirements
As a PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Center with a VSM program and upon approval of your application, your center will be eligible to receive up to $10,000 to provide EAAT lessons to VSM regardless of service era or nature of disability. Funds will be allocated until the $267,187.50 is expended. 

Each year PATH Intl. experiences an extensive increase of applicants, please note that this is a very competitive grant process. Because of limited funding and increased demand it is important that each PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Center only requests funding they will be able to expend , unused funding causes a delay in serving additional veterans in need who are waiting for these life changing services.

PATH Intl. will provide an attendance form for the center to complete on each VSM monthly for reimbursement. 
 
The center will administer a post-session survey to all VSM participants prior to final reimbursements.

Scoring & Acceptance Process
PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Centers who are awarded funding will be reimbursed at a rate of $75 per hour for 10 sessions provided to VSM. The applications are "blind" judged to ensure each PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Center undergoes equal evaluation. Applications will close end of day Wednesday, January 3, 2018. Announcements will be made mid-January and reimbursements can be back dated and eligible starting January to August, with specific details to be provided upon acceptance of the program.
