Your Contributions are Needed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CWDO does not currently charge any membership fees. We have no staff, and all our activities are carried out by volunteer board members and individual CWDO members. We have a small grant through HRSDC (federal government) to pay for accommodations for our webinars, such as ASL, intervenors and captioning.
We have grown to the point where we could use some paid, staffing support to do administration related to our activities. We need to raise our own funds to do this.
Please consider funding CWDO.
CWDO is not a charity, so tax receipts can not be issued.
Time and talent are valuable contributions, too! Please get involved with one of our committees. Details on committee activities can be found on our website.
Together we are stronger. |
