General Information

Experience Request

The Forward Foundation was established with the desire to support young adults who have serious, life-limiting illnesses to achieve an experience of connection. We define connection as a deepening relationship either with people, community, or with something else we hold value in such as our relationship with the environment for example. It is through the mutuality of connection that we can give and receive. Tell us about your experience request and how connection plays a role in the request for you. We do not fund travel for travel’s sake unless it is a necessary part of the request. Perhaps yours will be a request that builds on belonging - a sense of belonging inherently brings with it a connection to something bigger. Or, your experience might be based on service – a desire to be a catalyst for positive change? You might want an opportunity to connect with your community in a way which turns the focus of me into an experience of we. Whatever the specifics, tell us how we might assist you with deepening connection in relationship with yourself or your community.

PARTICIPANTS REQUESTED FAMILY, SPOUSE, CAREGIVER, OR FRIENDS (Optional)
