Joy can be found everywhere at Perkins. It’s part of who we are!

Right now, you can help spread that joy even further. All gifts are being matched up to $100,000 through December 31! 🌟

That means every dollar you give will be doubled, making 2X the impact for children with disabilities and their families: https://bit.ly/4sf0LHc

Big obstacles? No problem!

We’ve become aware of phishing emails that appear to be from members of the Perkins leadership team, board members, and potentially other employees.

The subject line varies, and may be, “Hello, [name].”

The email contains the name and title of a Perkins leader or employee, and sometimes even includes a photo of the person.

The email address is NOT a Perkins.org email address. It comes from an unfamiliar or non-professional domain (for example, a string of numbers followed by .com)

Please do not respond to these emails and delete them immediately.

Perkins will never ask for personal, financial or sensitive information via email. Please know that you can always trust our website, Perkins.org, to make a secure donation, sign up for an event or workshop, or purchase products.

Employment is about far more than income. Employment means independence and dignity.

For people with disabilities, those opportunities remain unnecessarily difficult when accessibility and inclusion are treated as exceptions rather than expectations.

The technology exists. The expertise exists. The people are already doing the work.

What we have not yet done is make access the expectation rather than the exception.
