Electric wheelchairs can be life-changing for individuals with limited mobility, but high costs often make them feel out of reach. The good news? There are many resources that can help you find affordable or even free mobility solutions — and if you’re in the U.S., EASWE is giving away a free electric wheelchair right now!
1. Check Your Insurance or Medicaid Coverage
If you have Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance, you may be eligible for a free or subsidized wheelchair, including electric models.
Medicare may cover up to 80% of the cost if deemed medically necessary.
Medicaid often covers 100%, but the process and eligibility vary by state.
You’ll need a doctor’s prescription and often must purchase from an approved supplier.
2. Look for Local Charities and Nonprofits
Many nonprofits and religious organizations offer donated wheelchairs to those in need:
The Salvation Army
Goodwill
Local disability foundations
Church groups and community centers
They may provide manual or electric wheelchairs at little or no cost.
3. Apply Through Government or Community Programs
Some cities and states run assistive technology programs or loan banks, which offer medical equipment like wheelchairs on loan or for free.
You can search for:
“Medical equipment loan programs near me”
State Assistive Technology Act Programs
4. Search Online Marketplaces
You might find used wheelchairs at a discount or even free on platforms like:
Craigslist
Facebook Marketplace
OfferUp
Nextdoor
Always meet in safe places and test the wheelchair before accepting or purchasing.

Healthcare providers can guide you toward the best mobility solution based on your condition, and they might also be aware of local assistance programs or nonprofits that offer support.
