DONATE  TO CLI

YOUR GENEROSITY IS APPRECIATED

CLI believes people with developmental disabilities (DD) must be recognized as equal members of our communities. We are mindful that asking for charity can contradict this message.  This is why CLI only uses donated money to support specific initiatives that can create and/or expand community resources for our neighbors too. 

​We are grateful for the support of our neighbors and friends-- not just with money, but even more importantly by welcoming us everywhere we go. 

​CLI is raising money for 3 initiatives:

• Making Kenilee Lanes Bowling Center Fully Wheelchair Accessible
• Therapeutic Day Programs 
• Community Entrepreneurial Co-Working Space

Thank you for supporting CLI!
