The Official Holiday Giving Campaign has wrapped-up, but it is not too late to help open doors to independence for people living with disabilities.

Why Give?

People with disabilities want to live independently—just like their able-bodied peers. But they often face significant cultural and environmental barriers to achieving independence. BDI’s programs break down these barriers. When you donate to BDI, you help create more opportunities for people with disabilities to secure financial and social independence within their communities.

Our Goal - $40,000

Money Raised 100%
