Imagine! Foundation
Since 2000, the Imagine! Foundation has supported Imagine! through fundraising and education to ensure that Imagine! creates a world of opportunity for all abilities.
To date, the Foundation has raised more than $12.5 million, providing extensive support for more than 4,300 people with intellectual/developmental disabilities (and their families), in Boulder and Broomfield Counties. A private nonprofit, the Imagine! Foundation has provided funding for Imagine! programs including residential sites and services, summer day camp and after-school programs, early intervention therapies, mental and behavioral health supports, adult day programs and job support, and emergency funds. The Foundation also funds the use of emerging technologies and remote supports for Imagine! clients, so they may increase self-sufficiency and quality of life.
Education is a crucial part of helping the community to better understand the role people with intellectual/developmental disabilities play in society, what their needs are, the challenges faced by their families, and the support Imagine! provides.
We extend heartfelt thanks to all those who support Imagine! and the Imagine! Foundation with cash and in-kind contributions.
