Our Impact

Hanger’s heritage of charitable giving dates back to the company’s founding in 1861. For many years, Hanger clinicians and employees consistently and generously donated millions of dollars in free care and financial contributions to a variety of causes, including hardship cases in their own communities. In 2009, Hanger formalized and increased its philanthropic work by establishing a non-profit organization, the Hanger Foundation.

Since 2015, the Hanger Foundation has given $1.8 million in grants to 92 non-profit organizations sharing our mission to empower people with physical challenges to live life as fully as possible.

Empowerment Grants

The Hanger Foundation supports 501(c)(3) organizations that directly and positively impact people with physical challenges in need in the United States that fit within our focus areas. All organizations applying for grants must complete the Grant Application Process.
