IRS990/Desc0LymeLight Foundation provides medical grants up to $10,000 (cumulative) to Lyme infected children and young adults who cannot pay for necessary medication and therapies. Grants cover doctor visits, medications, supplements, lab testing, alternative therapies, and transportation to out of the area physicians. In 2024, 252 total grants were awarded: 143 to new individuals and 109 to existing recipients. As most insurance companies do not cover the treatment of chronic Lyme disease, families are typically left on their own to battle the disease, often incurring extreme medical debt. By providing critical treatment, LymeLight bridges the gap of enormous unmet need. Since its inception in 2011, LymeLight has awarded grants totaling $10,231,950 to 1,432 individuals in all 50 states.

IRS990ScheduleI/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Grant applications are reviewed, and eligibility is verified by the grants coordinator. Awards are determined by the board. Grant amounts are allocated based on available funds. Those receiving grants are required to sign a pledge to verify use of funds. The board does not award the full $10,000 grant initially as verification receipts and support for anticipated expenditures must be submitted. An exit survey is completed by recipients to assess the results of the grant funding and to verify that funds were expended in an appropriate and timely manner.
