Support The Work

How can I help this grow?

Supporting the Dignity & Design Institute means investing in long-term access, dignity, and inclusion — not just a single program or location.

DDI works upstream, building the tools, frameworks, and learning systems that help many organizations create inclusive, dignity-centered programs in their own communities.

WHY THIS WORK MATTERS

When organizations have clear frameworks, practical tools, and thoughtful support, inclusive programs become easier to launch—and easier to sustain.

Rather than focusing on isolated outcomes, DDI builds infrastructure that supports participation, learning, and dignity across many settings.

Across communities, DDI’s work contributes to consistent patterns of impact:

Increased access to meaningful participation for adults with disabilities
Stronger organizational capacity to design inclusive programs
More sustainable community practices through creative reuse and stewardship

MEASURING IMPACT THROUGH LEARNING

DDI understands impact as something that grows over time through reflection, learning, and improvement.

Our evaluation approach helps partner organizations:

Reflect on participant experience and access

Adjust workflows, environments, and supports

Incorporate feedback from staff and participants

Impact is understood as growth in accessibility, participation, and program quality—not as comparison or ranking. This learning-focused approach allows programs to strengthen over time while remaining responsive to the people and communities they serve.

HOW YOUR SUPPORT MAKES THIS POSSIBLE

Supporters help DDI strengthen and expand the shared systems that many organizations rely on.

Your support enables:

Development and refinement of program curricula and frameworks
Expanded access to staff training and coaching
Improved accessibility tools and visual systems
Ongoing evaluation and learning across partner programs

Because DDI’s work is designed for reuse and adaptation, one investment helps many communities create inclusive, dignity-centered programs that last.

SUPPORT TAKES MANY FORMS

In addition to financial contributions, DDI’s work is strengthened through aligned community and corporate partnerships.

In-kind support, shared resources, and collaborative relationships help partner organizations reduce costs, increase access, and sustain inclusive programs over time.

If you’re interested in supporting this work in additional ways, we’d love to start a conversation.

SUPPORT THAT ALIGNS WITH VALUES

DDI is committed to integrity, transparency, and accountability.

Support options are designed to be:

Simple and clear
Values-aligned
Focused on long-term access and sustainability

Whether you’re an individual donor, foundation, or community supporter, your contribution helps strengthen inclusive practice across communities.
