MCC Grants

Through Donations We Assist Families With
The Financial Aspect Of Future Planning.

MCC Grant Program – Updated Policies & Application Information

At MCC, we understand that the costs associated with legal and financial planning can be a significant burden. That’s why we’re dedicated to empowering families through resources, educational support, and financial assistance.

Who We Support

We specifically serve families with dependents who have cognitive disabilities and may never achieve full independence. Through the generosity of our donors, we continuously build a fund designed to provide grants to those in need. In 2025, our goal is to award at least five grants—and we are proud to have already awarded four.

Updated Eligibility Requirements

In line with our commitment to transparency and fairness, we have updated our application process. All applicants are now required to provide proof of assets and income. These additional income eligibility requirements help us ensure that the grants reach the families who need them most.

How to Apply

If you are seeking financial assistance for legal or financial planning, please complete our application form. The form includes all the necessary details about the grant, eligibility criteria, and the documentation required. We encourage you to review these details carefully to determine if you qualify.

Additional Support

For families who have the means to manage their estate planning independently, MCC is happy to offer guidance and connect you with professional resources to further support your planning efforts.

We are committed to the success of every family we serve. If you need assistance or have any questions about the application process, please reach out to us. Your journey to financial security and peace of mind is important to us, and we’re here to help every step of the way.

We are SO grateful to Morgan’s Caring Connection for all their help and support in getting connected with a lawyer that specializes in setting up Special Needs Trusts and for awarding us with a grant to offset some of the cost of the trust.

Thank you for all you do and continue to do not just for our family but for others. We cannot recommend this organization enough! Thank you, thank you, thank you!❤️

Laurie Lewis

There are not enough words to express our gratitude for the support Morgan’s Caring Connections have provided. Janis gave us the connections we needed to complete our Special Needs Trust, something we knew we needed to do but were too scared to do. She gave us the guidance and encouragement we needed. Thank you for this amazing opportunity!  

Kaiti & Andy Bohacek

Morgan’s Caring Connection has provided immeasurable benefit to our family. I can’t thank Janis enough for the connections to professionals (cleaning/organizing, finance, mortgage advice) who have help our daughter so much. Thank you for the grant for estate planning services. We signed our papers yesterday and were overwhelmed with appreciation and gratitude for this valuable service provided by the organization. We are committed to paying it back and forward!
