For many people with disabilities, greater independence and mobility can come with a daunting price tag.

Adaptive equipment, like this wheelchair lift conversion kit for a van, can cost thousands of dollars and may be out of reach for someone paying out of pocket. That's where FundAbility New Mexico can help!

FundAbility New Mexico is a financial loan program that helps New Mexico residents with disabilities finance the adaptive and assistive equipment they need to live more independently and enjoy a better quality of life.

FundAbility loans can help finance a wide range of equipment, including car adaptations, scooters and wheelchairs, adaptive recreational equipment, Braille equipment, hearing and vision aids, augmentative communication devices, environmental control units, computers and adaptive peripherals, and more!

Do you or a loved one need help purchasing adaptive equipment? ➡️ Learn more or get your loan process started today! Visit FundAbilityNM.org or call (505) 449-4025.

FundAbility New Mexico is a program of the NM Governor's Commission on Disability and New Mexico Technology Assistance Program (NMTAP). Adelante is proud to administer this program!
