SUPPORT US
Be part of something that matters.
Every donation, every volunteer hour, every act of generosity helps The Roland Center deliver world-class care and opportunity to adults with IDD. Here's how you can help.
MAKE A DONATION
Your donation funds dignity.
The Roland Center has been changing lives since 1961 — and every single dollar we receive goes directly toward ensuring that adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities can live, work, and belong on their own terms. We don't just provide services. We build lives. And we can't do it without you.
Why Your Gift Matters
The Roland Center operates at the intersection of two worlds most organisations never enter: world-class disability services and specialised dementia care for adults with IDD. We hold the only CARF International accreditation on the planet for this work. That standard of care doesn't happen by accident — it takes investment, expertise, and the unwavering commitment of supporters like you.
When you donate to The Roland Center, you are not writing a check to an institution. You are changing the daily reality of a person whose potential has too often been underestimated. You are funding the morning someone arrives at our Adult Day Program and feels genuinely seen. You are making possible the moment a participant lands their first job. You are supporting the kind of dignified, specialised care that means someone's final years are spent in comfort, not confusion.
How Your Donation is Used
Every dollar donated to The Roland Center is directed toward three core priorities:
People
— recruiting, training, and retaining the specialist staff who deliver our world-first standard of care every single day.
Programs
— funding the activities, resources, transportation, and equipment that make our Adult Day Program, Community Based Opportunities, and Supported Employment services possible.
Progress
— investing in the research, accreditation, and innovation that keeps The Roland Center at the forefront of disability services globally.
Other Ways to Give
Beyond a direct donation, there are several meaningful ways to support The Roland Center financially:
Planned Giving — Consider including The Roland Center in your estate plan or will. A legacy gift ensures that your values live on and that future generations of adults with IDD continue to receive the care they deserve. Contact us to discuss your options.
Corporate Giving — Does your employer offer a workplace giving or donation matching program? Many companies will match employee donations dollar for dollar — effectively doubling your impact at no extra cost to you. Check with your HR department and nominate The Roland Center as your charity of choice.
Tribute & Memorial Gifts — Honor someone you love by making a gift in their name. Whether celebrating a milestone or commemorating a life, a tribute donation to The Roland Center is a meaningful way to create lasting impact in someone's memory.
Recurring Giving — The most powerful thing a donor can do is commit to giving monthly. A recurring gift — even a modest one — gives The Roland Center the financial stability to plan, hire, and invest with confidence. Join our community of monthly supporters and help us build something that lasts.
A Note on Transparency
We take our responsibility to our donors seriously. As a fully accredited 501(c)(3) nonprofit, The Roland Center maintains rigorous financial oversight and is committed to using every gift with care and accountability. We will always be honest with you about how your money is used and the difference it makes.
