Community Safe Haven

Specific Need

Community Safe Haven 501(c)(3) is seeking funding to support therapeutic programming, participant scholarships, and future staff growth as our community continues to expand.

Donations directly fund essential services such as music therapy ($100 per session), yoga ($75 per session), art therapy ($15 per participant), and community outings ($100–$200 per outing)—all of which help our participants build emotional regulation, independence, and meaningful social connections.

Contributions also help provide tuition assistance, keeping our program accessible at $50 per day for individuals and families who need support. While we say $50 per day, majority of our participants don't pay any tuition at all.

In addition, we are setting aside funds to hire and train future employees, ensuring we can maintain small group ratios, individualized care, and a safe, consistent environment as enrollment grows.

Mission

Community Safe Haven 501(c)(3) is dedicated to improving quality of life for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities by delivering evidence-informed therapeutic services, life-skills training, and inclusive community-based programming. Through structured supports, individualized care, and meaningful engagement, we promote independence, emotional well-being, and long-term community inclusion for the individuals we serve.
