The Permobil Foundation believes that regardless of disability, everyone deserves a chance to reach their dreams without limitations. No person should be excluded from opportunity due to a disability. That's why we are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life by assisting with Permobil product and chair donations so you can live a life with fewer limitations.
Recommendations for product and accessory donations include consideration of:
- Critical need of individual/client
- Completion of in-kind product application (including client signature)
- All insurance options/appeals have been submitted and denied prior to submission of application
- Alignment with Permobil Foundation mission
- Quote number from a dealer/vendor
- Dealer/vendor must agree to partner with the Foundation to provide support/service on the donated parts/chair. Additionally dealers should note that future requests of parts from donated chairs must be resubmitted as a new application for each client (one application per year).
- Application will not be considered if chair has already been ordered.
- If requested client agrees to share how the donation of the chair/parts impacted their life
