United Healthcare Children's Foundation’s mission is to significantly enhance the clinical condition or quality of life of children covered under a commercial health insurance plan who are 16 years old or younger living in the United States. They provide financial assistance for therapy services (they also provide ABA assistance with a one-time grant for children 3-6).
