Are you struggling to secure mobility funding for wheelchair accessible vehicles or mobile health clinics for Indigenous communities? As a grant consultant, you work hard to help communities access grants for mobility vehicles. But finding the right manufacturer to partner with? That’s where things get tricky.
Without the right manufacturer, Indigenous communities may face:
- Vehicles that don’t meet their needs
- Wasted funding on unreliable options
- More barriers to healthcare and transportation
We know that it’s frustrating. You want to make a real impact, but the process can feel overwhelming.
Now, imagine a different future:
- Every Indigenous community you support has safe, reliable transportation
- Your funding efforts lead to real, lasting change
- People gain independence, access to care, and dignity
That’s the goal—and the right partnership can help you get there.
For over 20 years, our team at MoveMobility has been connecting organizations like yours and Keewatinohk Inniniw Minoayawin all over Canada with their grants and funding for the right mobility vehicles. We work closely with grant consultants to ensure Indigenous communities receive transportation and healthcare access that truly fits their needs.
In this article, you’ll get a closer look at how and why you can collaborate with our team to connect the funding you find with the right mobility vehicles for the Indigenous communities you’re working with.
What challenges do Indigenous communities face in healthcare and transportation?
Many Indigenous communities in Canada struggle with transportation and healthcare. This makes it hard for people to get medical care when they need it.
Here are some of the biggest challenges:
Hospitals are far away: In places like Nain, Newfoundland, and Labrador, the nearest hospital is hundreds of kilometers away. There are no roads connecting Nain to other towns, so people have to rely on boats or planes for medical care.
No reliable transportation: In Attawapiskat, Ontario, there are no public buses or taxis. Many people don’t have a vehicle, making it almost impossible to travel for medical care.
Bad road conditions: Many communities, like Pikangikum First Nation in Ontario, have unpaved roads. In winter, icy conditions make travel dangerous. In summer, heavy rain can wash out roads completely.
Not enough healthcare services: In Kashechewan First Nation, the local clinic doesn’t have enough doctors or nurses. People often have to fly out for treatments like dialysis or maternity care.
Travel is too expensive: Flights to the nearest hospital can cost thousands of dollars in remote areas. Many families can’t afford these trips.
No wheelchair accessible vehicles: For those in wheelchairs or with mobility challenges, transportation is even harder. Without finding the right government funding for wheelchair accessible vehicles, many are stuck at home, unable to get medical care.
These challenges put Indigenous communities at risk. But with the right funding for wheelchair accessible vehicles and mobile health clinics, more people can access the care they need.
Why do grant consultants trust MoveMobility?
We get it—you’re not just looking for mobility funding for wheelchair accessible vehicles or grants for mobile health clinics. You’re also searching for a manufacturer you can trust with the funding. Your reputation depends on it.
Some of the big responsibilities you have are:
Finding the right manufacturer: You need a company that respects and honors Indigenous communities and the unique challenges they face. It’s important to work with people who listen, value your needs, and provide solutions that support your community.
Getting full transparency: Hidden fees? Unclear warranties? That won’t work. You need honest pricing, clear service agreements, and no surprises.
Ensuring long-term support: The last thing you want is a company that disappears after the sale. The communities you serve need reliable service and support.
Customizing for real needs: Off-the-shelf vehicles don’t always work. You need a partner who can tailor each van or mobile health clinic to meet specific needs.
At MoveMobility, we check all these boxes. Organizations have been trusting us for over two decades to build wheelchair accessible vehicles and mobile medical units that remove barriers to healthcare and transportation.
When you work with us, it’s more about just finding a vehicle—you’re changing lives in the communities you serve.
How does MoveMobility work with grant consultants?
We know your job isn’t easy. Finding grants for wheelchair vans and funding for mobile clinics takes time. Government funding for mobility vehicles isn’t always straightforward. And even when you secure the funding, finding the right manufacturer can add another layer of frustration.
We want to make your job easier.
Here’s how:
Clear cost breakdowns: There are no guessing games. We provide detailed quotes so you can see exactly where every dollar of your funding is going.
A dedicated team: You won’t be left waiting for answers. Our team is here to help you through the process from start to finish.
Full customization: Every community is different. We tailor wheelchair accessible vehicles and mobile medical units to meet their unique needs.
Problem-solving mindset: We don’t see challenges as roadblocks. We find solutions so these vehicles make a real impact.
Ongoing funding insights: We keep an eye on government grants for wheelchair vans and grants for mobility vehicles so the proceed is a little easier for the clients we work with.
With MoveMobility, you get a partner who’s just as invested in these communities as you are.
What Makes MoveMobility different?
Many manufacturers push a one-size-fits-all solution. We don’t. We listen first because every community has its own vision, challenges, and needs.
Some things that make us different include:
We take time to understand your community’s vision: Before recommending a vehicle, we learn about the challenges Indigenous communities face and how we can help solve them.
We design for real conditions: We know northern Canadian communities deal with harsh winters and rough terrain. That’s why we created the Trail Edition—built to handle snow, ice, gravel roads, and remote areas.
We provide long-term support: After the vehicle is delivered, we’re still here. Every client gets access to ongoing training, parts, and support to keep their vehicles running smoothly.
We focus on building relationships: Many Indigenous communities already trust grant consultants and advisors like you. If that’s your role, we want to work with you long-term so you always have a reliable manufacturer to turn to.
Real stories from Indigenous communities
We’ve had the privilege of working with Indigenous communities across Canada to create reliable, accessible transportation solutions.
Here are just a few of their stories:
Four Arrows Health Authority: They now have a patient transfer fleet that helps people get to medical appointments easily and safely. This makes sure everyone has access to the healthcare they need.
Gitanmaax Band Council: With wheelchair-accessible vans, people with disabilities can now join in land-based healing programs. These programs are important for health and culture, and now more people can be part of them.
Shawanaga First Nation: Barrier-free transit vans are helping Elders stay in their homes longer. With these vans, they can go to appointments, visit family, and attend events, all while keeping their independence.
Lac Seul First Nation: Crisis prevention and counseling vans provide a safe space for at-risk youth. These vans bring support to the young people who need it, helping them feel heard and supported.
Each community had its own needs, and we worked closely with them to make sure the right vehicles were built. We are proud of the difference these vehicles make every day.
What types of vehicles does MoveMobility offer?
At MoveMobility, we specialize in vans.
Think about it like this: if you want a really good slice of pizza, you probably wouldn’t go to a Chinese food restaurant, right? You go to the place that does pizza best. That’s exactly how we work. We don’t build RVs, coaches, or box trucks. We focus on what we do best—vans.
Here’s a look at some of the vehicles we manufacture:
Non-emergency patient transfer units: NEMT units are designed to make medical transport safe and affordable. They’re perfect for getting patients to appointments without emergency-level care.
Mobile healthcare clinics and outreach vans: These mobile medical vans are ideal for bringing healthcare services to remote areas. They’re equipped to help communities in hard-to-reach places.
Wheelchair-accessible vans: We offer both side and rear entry vans, with ramps or lifts for easy access. Wheelchair vans help people with disabilities get around easily and safely.
We are also a certified vehicle modifier for RAM and Ford. This means our vehicles are turnkey solutions—you don’t need to buy a chassis separately. Everything is ready to go.
