Financial Assistance

The Scottish Rite Foundation of Colorado provides grants to its speech-language partners (RiteCare Partners) to help defray the cost of speech therapy for qualified children and their families. Qualification is determined based upon need and family income. RiteCare partners are professional care-giving organizations such as Children’s Hospital Colorado. The Foundation pays the grants directly to the RiteCare partner and not to the family.

A family seeking financial assistance is required to make written application to the partnering clinic. Interested families should contact the clinic to obtain the application form. The application should not be submitted to the Scottish Rite Foundation office. This will only delay its consideration as it must then be forwarded to the clinic for review and consideration. The application information is held in strict confidence by the clinic which applies strict confidentiality and privacy of information requirements.

The clinic director or other clinic official and a Scottish Rite appraisal committee make a determination — based on family income and need — regarding application approval and, if approved, at what dollar level.

Generally speaking, the Foundation does not pay for 100% of the therapy costs. Families are expected to participate in paying for speech therapy — except in the most extreme circumstances, which are rare.

Most, but not all, children who are enrolled in the RiteCare program are of preschool-age. The Foundation is unable to provide financial assistance for adult speech therapy.
