Who can apply

“CARE Grants are offered to homeschooling families regardless of umbrella affiliation.”
In the funder’s own words, from homeschoolcare.org, checked Oct 5, 2026.

Families apply, not co-ops. It's for a need from health issues, job loss or natural disaster, and may help with curriculum, school supplies, laptops, registration fees or immediate needs. It “will not cover extra-curricular activities, such as Co-ops, Tutorials, paid classes, or field trips” and usually not online courses. After you apply, a team member calls to talk it through.
