Annual Giving

Friends of UD

Friends of UD provide our program financial stability by pledging an annual donation of $300 or more, enough to fund one classroom’s lessons for a year.

Joining the Friends of UD is the best way to ensure the continuance of our program and its success in teaching children all that people with disabilities can do and promoting a culture of inclusion and respect.

Understanding Disabilities, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Donations are tax-deductible.
