This is it! Churches let’s support this need! Businesses let’s support this need!
One year ago, we opened the doors to the Chadwick Foundation with just 6 incredible students. This fall, we are preparing to welcome 19 students through our doors when classes begin on August 3rd.
Nineteen lives.
Nineteen families.
Nineteen individuals who deserve the opportunity to learn, grow, build friendships, and experience their community beyond public education.
That growth is something worth celebrating, but it also comes with greater responsibility.
One of the most meaningful parts of our Academy is our community-based learning. Our participants don’t just learn inside four walls. They practice life skills at grocery stores, volunteer in the community, visit local businesses, explore parks, and experience the world around them. These daily outings help build confidence, independence, and a true sense of belonging.
Today, we’re asking for your help.
Our goal is to find 20 people willing to give $25 a month.
That’s less than a dollar a day, but together, those 20 monthly donors would provide a dependable source of funding to help cover the costs of transportation, admission fees, supplies, and the daily community experiences that make our Academy so special.
Your monthly gift isn’t just a donation.
It’s a student learning to order their own meal for the first time.
It’s someone discovering a new talent.
It’s a friendship formed on a field trip.
It’s a parent breathing a little easier, knowing their loved one has a place where they belong.
It is hope put into action.
As we prepare for Parent Night tomorrow and eagerly anticipate the start of our Fall 2026 semester on August 3rd, we’re reminded of how far we’ve come, and how much more we can accomplish with a community standing beside us.
Would you consider becoming one of our 20 monthly partners?
Every gift of $25 a month or more helps create opportunities that last a lifetime.
If you’d like to join our monthly giving campaign, check the comment section, tell us “I’m in!”, send us a message, or visit our website to become a monthly supporter.
Together, we aren’t just funding outings.
We’re building independence.
We’re creating opportunities.
We’re changing lives.
Thank you for believing in our mission. 💙
