Providing a Community to Cultivate and Grow happiness
You can help persons with disabilities find happiness in their own homes, in their personal relationships, and as contributing members of their community.
Happiness happens here, but we need your help!
CSI excels at helping persons with disabilities to find happiness in their own homes, in their personal relationships, and as contributing members of their community. However, championing happiness takes more than our four-state family of non-profits can provide through funding received from federal and state contracts. Can you help us champion happiness?
There are many ways you can help:
- Support CSI's today
- Donate to CSI by providing either a one-time or monthly gift – just click on the link above or mail a check payable to Community Systems, Inc. and send to one of our state offices.
- Increase your impact by asking your company to match your gift!
- Support CSI's tomorrow
- Consider making CSI a part of your planned giving through gifts such as bequests, charitable trusts or annuities. For more information on how you can make a lasting impact on CSI, contact Janet Butler, President and CEO, at (703) 448-0606.
Each Community Systems receives funding support from service contracts with government agencies like the Delaware Division of Developmental Services or the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind. Unfortunately funds received from these agencies don’t fully cover the costs of our services. To fill the shortfall, CSI relies on philanthropic support from individuals in our community, corporate partners, and grants from private foundations.
92 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to helping the people CSI supports live independently. Your donation helps cover costs for:
Basic Housing Needs
Nearly 600 persons with disabilities rely on CSI for basic housing needs. We need your help to ensure that their houses are not just a collection of walls and beams, but homes where those we support can love, laugh, and dream.
Funds provided to CSI may be used to:
- Upgrade and renovate homes so they are fully accessible and support independent living including the installation of ramps, redesigning kitchens and bathrooms, purchase adaptive equipment and communication devices, and installing smart home features.
- Purchase home furnishings and entertainment items ensuring those we support live in a warm and inviting space, complete with indoor and outdoor enrichment and recreation activities like board games and basketball hoops.
Case Management,
Drop-in & Day Supports
Over 100 persons with disabilities are supported by CSI’s case management or drop-in supports. Another 200 persons receive day supports to help them work, develop relationships, and give back to their community. Your donations are used to:
- Purchase adaptive equipment and communication devices that help those we support navigate their communities.
- Fund recreation activities, birthday celebrations, and vacations.
- Provide CSI staff with professional development opportunities ensuring they are up to date on best practices on community inclusion and supports.
Medical Services
Finally, many of those we support struggle with health issues. Donations to CSI help us to cover the cost of:
- Medical services not covered by Medicaid, like Music Therapy and other therapeutic activities
- Specialized diets and nutritional supplements
Please help us help bring happiness to persons with disabilities. Every donation is highly valued and greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Community Systems, Inc. is a family of four 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations supporting persons with disabilities in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware and Virginia.
