K The Application & Approval Process

The Application & Approval Process

Basic Criteria:

  • Applicant must require use of a manual or electric wheelchair 100% of the time.
  • Applicant must be able to provide details as to the medical situation resulting in the need for the wheelchair van.
  • Applicant must demonstrate that they do not have the resources to afford the equipment on their own but do have the resources to afford the higher cost of insurance as well as maintenance of this specialty vehicle.  
  • Once qualified through the vetting process (see Phases listed below), the applicant must participate in fundraising efforts by sharing their situation and the fact that All Things Possible has accepted them as a recipient, with their family, friends, coworkers, etc.

While we make every effort to raise the money needed to purchase wheelchair vans, we make no guarantees as to the particular availability or time frame for each vehicle.

All Things Possible Medical Fundraising currently serves those living in North Carolina and South Carolina,  If approved and gifted a van, recipients must transport themselves to Ilderton Conversion Company in Charlotte, NC to pick up their van and drive it home.

 

About the Process

Phase One 

The patient or their assigned Advocate (if a minor) completes the online application (link below). This initiates the vetting process, whereby eligibility will be determined based on meeting the criteria listed above.

Phase Two

The vetting process takes place. The applicant will receive a phone call from an All Things Possible Medical Fundraising associate to clarify information provided on the application.

Documents and waivers will be emailed to the applicant and are required to be signed and returned to our Administrator before the application process moves ahead.

During this time, you will also be referred to a nonprofit crediting counseling service (at no cost to you) to review the financial information you have provided on the application. This service will also provide financial resources and budgeting recommendations. Once all information is verified, it will be presented to our Medical Review Team, which includes medical and financial professionals, who will examine all the details. The synopsis and recommendations will be presented to our Board of Directors. The Board will vote to determine whether we move forward at that time.

Phase Three

Once the applicant is qualified on paper and approved by the Board of Directors to move ahead, a video interview will be scheduled. The individual in the wheelchair, as well as their caregiver(s), are required to be present. If the applicant cannot speak clearly, their advocate or caregiver will be interviewed, with the applicant in the room.

The video interview will either take place at the home of the applicant or will be recorded via Zoom. The decision as to where and how the video interview is conducted is at the discretion of our All Things Possible videographer.

Acceptance

The leadership of All Things Possible Medical Fundraising reserves the right to accept or decline the application based on necessity, financial information, urgency, and/or the ability to make a significant difference for the patient, as evidenced by the available information. However, if the applicant’s circumstances change or important new information comes to light after acceptance, All Things Possible reserves the right to reverse or amend its decision.

The applicant will be notified by a phone call from one of our associates once an approval decision has been made. If accepted, the next steps will be detailed within that notification call. If declined, the applicant will receive written notification. The decisions of the Board of Directors for All Things Possible Medical Fundraising are final.

  • The Application is lengthy and will take a few hours to complete in full. There is a Save-and-Resume feature.
  • You MUST read ALL of the above Application Process Phases in order to proceed to the Application.

NOTE: It is expected that the family will participate in ATP fundraising efforts, including sharing information on the mission with friends, family, coworkers, and social media to encourage donations.
