Announcing our 2021 Mini Loan Pilot Program. No interest. No fees. No kidding. Up to 7000 dollars. An image of an older man holding a hand to his ear.
Next Monday, January 18, 2021 Pennsylvania Assistive Technology Foundation (PATF) will launch a one-year pilot program offering no-interest, no-fee financial loans between $100 and $7,000 to Pennsylvanians with disabilities and older adults for the purchase of needed assistive technology devices and services that help them remain independent, safe, healthy, and connected during the pandemic.
Quote
“People with disabilities and older adults have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic, and assistive technology plays a critical role in helping them maintain employment and schooling, travel safely, remain in their own homes, access telehealth, and stay connected during a particularly vulnerable time,” says PATF CEO Susan Tachau.

“By expanding our Mini-Loan program, we can be more responsive and offer more affordable financing, helping people at a time when it is needed most.”
