About the ASF Family Fund
The ASF Family Fund was created to provide financial assistance to families supporting individuals with Angelman syndrome. Family members can apply for funds that are needed to improve the quality of life for an individual with Angelman syndrome.

To be eligible for funding.
- Applicant must be a caregiver (legal guardian, primary caregiver, etc) for an individual diagnosed with Angelman syndrome.
- Request must impact an individual with Angelman syndrome.
- Request cannot be for rent, utilities or moving expenses.Â
- Applicant cannot have received a grant in the last 3 years. Example, if you are awarded during the October 2023 grant cycle, you would not be eligible to apply again until the 2026 grant cycle.
NOTE: The total requested amount for funding may not be met. There is a funding limit of up to $2,500 per grant award.
Application Tips
- Be specific. If you are applying for an adaptive bike, provide as much information as possible about the exact item you want. For example, the cost, manufacturer and model, link to the item on a website.Â
- Be patient. You will receive a response about your application toward the end of the month.
- Apply for one item. An application should be completed for one item. Please do not include a list of items. This will slow the application process and your approval.
Thank you to our partners who help fund applications in their respective countries.
