Your Gift Today Creates Authentic Inclusion Long-Term

“I didn’t think about a future for my child until I came to CLO’s Family Leadership Series...”

“One of the most valuable lessons I have taken away from my time at the series is the significance of unity among parents and families in supporting individuals...”

2024 Family Engagement Participants

Stories like this inspire us every day—but we can’t do it alone. With your support, we can continue to:

• Build connections among families, creating peer networks where experiences and solutions are shared. In the last year alone, we connected with 550 families!
• Provide resources that empower parents, siblings, and caregivers to advocate for their loved ones. In 2025, we’re planning to hold family conferences across the province.
• Drive systemic change by championing inclusive policies and practices at the local and provincial levels. Without CLO’s direct intervention, many families who have loved ones with intellectual disability would not know where to turn.

Your donation can help us extend our reach to even more families across Ontario. Together, we can ensure that no family faces this journey alone.

Please join us today by making a gift of $50, $100, or $250 to our new Family Engagement Fund. Your generosity will make a direct impact: creating stronger families who are well-equipped to support their loved ones with intellectual disability and more inclusive communities.

Thank you for believing in the power of connection and community. Together, we can continue to lead the way for families across Ontario. Your foresight and compassion mean so much.
