Grants
The High Fives Foundation: The Empowerment Fund
Bowhead Corp and the High Fives Foundation share a meaningful partnership rooted in empowerment, inclusion, and adventure. Together, we work to expand opportunities for athletes with life-changing injuries by combining Bowhead’s innovative adaptive bikes and chairs with High Fives’ mission of supporting athletes in their return to outdoor sports. Through our collaboration, individuals are not only provided with cutting-edge equipment but also welcomed into a community that celebrates resilience, freedom, and the joy of exploration. Together we share a commitment to redefining what’s possible and helping people get back to doing what they love.
The High Fives Foundation's Empowerment Fund offers two grant cycles each year, designed to support individuals recovering from life-altering injuries in pursuing goals related to outdoor adventure sports.
The Kelly Brush Foundation: The Active Fund
Bowhead Corp and the Kelly Brush Foundation are united by a shared vision of breaking down barriers and opening up the outdoors for people living with spinal cord injuries. The Kelly Brush Foundation empowers individuals through grants for adaptive sports equipment, while Bowhead provides innovative adaptive bikes and chairs that redefine what’s possible. Together, we ensure that more people can experience the freedom, independence, and joy of life. This relationship reflects a common commitment to accessibility, adventure, and helping individuals live active, engaged lives without limits.
Through the Active Fund, KBF has provided grants for individuals with paralysis caused by spinal cord injury to purchase adaptive sports equipment. They believe in the power of sport and recreation to foster inclusion and overcome the barriers of paralysis.
Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF)
CAF provides opportunities and support to people with physical disabilities so they can pursue active lifestyles through physical fitness and competitive athletics. CAF believes that involvement in sports at any level increases self-esteem, encourages independence, and enhances quality of life.
CAF has several grant programs. Learn about each program below including description, eligibility information, and grant requirements.
Shine Foundation (Canada)
Shine Foundation creates brighter futures for young people in Canada aged 11-21 living with severe physical disabilities.
The Program Team works with youth during a critical stage in their development where they’re looking at their potential. Upon exploring the individual’s interests and goals, a customized Dream is created with the aim to inspire confidence or independence, and a sense of purpose. We help Dreamers see new possibilities for their future, turning their mindset from “I can’t” into “I can”.
Straz Strong (Canada)
The Straz Strong Foundation was founded by Ryan Straschnitzki, a survivor of the 2018 Humboldt Broncos bus crash, with a mission to empower individuals with disabilities. While Ryan’s journey laid the foundation, the focus has now shifted to the incredible people we help, sharing their stories and providing tools for independence and success.
The Straz Strong Foundation facilitates opportunities for individuals with disabilities to engage in adaptive sports, promoting physical activity and inclusivity. Through alliances with organizations like the Shine Foundation, they provide adaptive equipment to those in need, enabling them to pursue their passions.
