When you have a nonprofit organization such as ours at the Disability Advocacy Center, you have an organization that runs off of donations to continue fulfilling the mission of the nonprofit. In our case, our mission is to make a more inclusive community for people with disabilities. When you make a contribution to our organization, you create a ripple effect.
Here are a few ways that charitable donations can create a ripple effect:
- It starts with the organization: Charitable donations help to provide the finances we need to sustain our organization and keep it running. This includes the finances to pay for helpful and trained staff, facilities, and more. This way, we can ensure we have the foundation we need to carry out our mission to make an inclusive community for those with disabilities.
- It then goes to services: As charitable donations allow us to have a firm foundation of great staff and great facilities, we are then able to implement our action plan. We can use the donations to provide assisted housing for those who need it, independent living skills training, peer counseling, advocacy, and other programs and projects designed to serve those with disabilities.
- It lives through the individual: Once the ripple effect of the charitable donations has been passed through the projects and programs we offer people with disabilities, it reaches the individual. This is the most important part of the ripple to consider. The financial support we receive allows us to help those individuals and change their lives for the better. We wouldn’t be able to do that without generous donations.
We appreciate any charitable donation or any amount of support we receive from our community. You can reach out to learn more.
