Financial Assistance
At Florida Diabetes Camp, we believe every child with type 1 diabetes should have the chance to experience the fun, education, and sense of belonging our camps provide—regardless of their family’s financial situation.
To honor this belief, we offer Camperships, a financial assistance program designed to support families in need. Special Camperships are also available for newly diagnosed campers, ensuring they can benefit from our programs during a crucial time of adjustment.
Our Campership Eligibility Policy outlines the requirements and application process, making it simple for families to seek support and join our thriving FDC community.
I. Primary Campership Eligibility Criteria
Families may qualify for a full Campership if they meet any of the following criteria and provide the necessary documentation:
- Income-Based Eligibility: Household income at or below 150% of the Federal Poverty Line (FPL).
- Medicaid/Medicare: Proof of Medicaid or Medicare eligibility.
- Free School Meal Programs: Proof of eligibility for Free School Breakfast and Lunch programs.
- SNAP/TANF: Enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
Families may qualify for a partial Campership if they meet these criteria and provide supporting documents:
- Income-Based Eligibility: Household income at or below 250% of the Federal Poverty Line (FPL).
- Reduced Fee School Meal Programs: Proof of eligibility for Reduced Fee School Breakfast and Lunch programs.
II. Secondary Campership Eligibility Criteria: Extenuating Financial Circumstances
Families who don’t meet the primary criteria may still qualify for assistance based on extenuating financial hardships. In these cases, families can submit a written explanation detailing their circumstances. Secondary considerations may include:
- A recent job loss or significant reduction in household income.
Multiple children with T1D or substantial out-of-pocket medical expenses.
Referrals from healthcare professionals such as doctors, social workers, or therapists.
III. Newly Diagnosed Campers
Campers diagnosed with type 1 diabetes within the year before their camp session are eligible for a full Campership. The specific cutoff date will be included in the financial assistance application and updated annually.
Requests for financial assistance can be submitted right in the camper application or through the form on our Camperships Page.
