Give Monthly
When you arrange to donate monthly, you’re making sure there is support every day in our community. Your donation means that when a parent calls our office with news of a diagnosis of Down syndrome at birth, there is someone available to provide emotional support, education, tools, and resources as they start their journey. It also means access to social outings with peers for teens and adults with Down syndrome to support a life of choice and happiness.What your gift gives:
- Your gift of $50 provides dinner and support to caregivers when their baby or child is in the hospital.
- Your gift of $150 provides 4 classes for new parents of babies with Down syndrome in early childhood development.
- Your gift of $500 provides financial assistance for individuals with Down syndrome to participate in extracurricular or life skill development activities.
- Your gift of $750 provides 9 months of an evidence informed learning program for children with Down syndrome.
- Your gift of $1200 provides 4 weeks of job skills training and experience for a young adult in the Summer Employment Academy
