Your gift can make a difference!

WID welcomes all donations from individuals who care about disability rights and advocacy. WID is a 501(c) (3) organization, and all donations are fully tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Please help us continue our important work by making a donation--even a small amount helps.

Your contribution will support our efforts to eliminate barriers to full social integration and increase employment, economic security, and health care for persons with disabilities. In 2011, with your support, we estimate that more than 250,000 individuals and families directly benefited from our projects, tools and policy initiatives.

As federal funding for disability programs decreases and the economic mêlée continues, we find ourselves in the situation of many other nonprofits--depending more and more on community support and the generosity of individuals like you.  

Thanks to you, our supporters, we continue to make a difference in the lives of people with disabilities. With your support, we can even do more in 2012.  Your tax-deductible contribution is vital when funds for social justice work are scarce. Please help us continue our important projects to promote choice and economic empowerment for people with disabilities.
