Giving

Creative, productive, and joyous lives for adults with developmental disabilities

Your support makes it all possible. 

Every day, we provide Cedars residents and program participants with opportunities to engage with the community as artists, weavers, gardeners, chefs, neighbors, volunteers and more. And every year, we must raise almost $1,500,000 to bridge the gap between what the state funds and what our services cost. 

Ways to Give
