How You Can Help

Financial Support

• Your donation of $25 purchases dinner for a day for all residents at one of the Workshops two group homes
• A contribution of $50 insures that a Workshop client and Adult Compensatory Education Program student has the supplies he or she needs for a semester
• $100 support makes it possible for Workshop clients to experience all our program has to offer in day; vocational and life skills training, adult education classes and participation in community activities such as Special Olympics and Civitan Clubs.
• Gifts of $1000 or more means that you are investing in the future of the Workshop to make sure adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities in Davidson County and their families have a safe and trusted program to take part in for years to come. A contribution of this level also qualifies you to become a member of the “Friends of the Workshop” giving circle. In addition to being recognized in Workshop publications, you would also be notified of and included in any organizational projects and events, free of charge.
