DONATIONS MAKE A DIFFERENCE

As a nonprofit organization, Project Independence relies on donations from individuals, businesses, private foundations and community groups to provide services to the 750+ clients we serve each year.  For example, did you know that a gift of $40 will provide a day of transportation to and from work for a Project Independence client?  That a gift of $65 will enroll a client in our Day Program for one day?  Or, that a gift of $160 will subsidize a client in his or her own apartment for a week? 

Your gift will also be used efficiently and effectively.  More than 80% of PI's budget directly benefits our clients.  This statistic far surpasses the Better Business Bureau's standard that at least 65% of a nonprofit's budget be allocated to programs and services.

Making a gift to PI is a wise investment.   Consider partnering with us today!
