Dear CNF Partners,  A month ago, we made the announcement that we were working to offer financial assistance to children and families in our community, as well as other advocacy organizations working to support children and families with neurologic conditions. And today, we're excited to announce that applications for our RISE and RISING TIDES grants open on May 1st! Starting this Friday, we'll be releasing $100,000 to support children, families, and organizations through COVID-19.  We love this community, and we're doing everything that we can to help make sure that we all get through this pandemic together. Applications for our first round of COVID-19 support funds will be open until May 15th. CNF’s plan is to continue to raise funds to provide funding to organizations and families throughout the rest of the year. Stay tuned, as we raise more funds – we will move the money straight out to our community. We are in this together. RISE Family Grants To support families, we are greatly expanding our existing RISE Family Grants, offering 50 $1,000 awards to children and families living with a pediatric neurologic condition. The grant application has been shortened and the review process will be expedited to get the funds out to families as quickly as possible. Applications for this first round of RISE Family Grants will go live on May 1st at 9am ET (8am CT/6am PT), and will be open until 5pm PT on May 15th. Applications for RISE Family Grants go live on Friday May 1st. RISING TIDES Grants We've said it before, and we'll say it again, Rising Tides Lift All Boats. It's with this idea that we are launching CNF's RISING TIDES Grants. CNF is offering five $10,000 awards to child neurology focused 501c3 organizations. These awards will also go live on May 1st, and applications will be open until 5pm PT May 15th. Applications for RISING TIDES Grants go live on May 1st.  If you'd like to be a rising tide to help lift up the child neurology community, please reach out to the Child Neurology Foundation at info@childneurologyfoundation.org to find out how. Huge thanks to CNF's COVID-19 Resource Partners Eisai, Mallinckrodt, and Upsher-Smith for enabling us to offer $100,000 in funding to the child neurology community.
