Our Mission: Empowering Lives, Building Communities
United Spinal’s First Giving Week
United Spinal Association fights for wheelchair users. And we can’t do it without your support. During our first-ever Giving Week, we are appealing to everyone who considers themselves part of our cause to lend us their support.
Every contribution helps keep us in the fight. There are many ways to give, including breaking up your tax-deductible contribution into a monthly pledge. Also, many employers will match employee donations—often doubling the impact of your gift!
Every donation counts, large or small. Gifts of all amounts will help us reach—and exceed—our initial goal of $50,000 and support our programs serving wheelchair users. Be one of the first 25 donors, and you will receive some United Spinal swag.
| Help us reach our goal. We need your support. |
How You Can Help
Donate. Your generous contributions directly benefit wheelchair users. Whether it’s funding Community Support, supporting our Tech Access Program, Pathways to Employment, or supporting Advocacy and Policy Support, your donation makes a tangible difference.
Share our posts on social media to help us raise awareness about the challenges faced by wheelchair users and how individual donations support our mission. By lending your voice to our efforts, you can help build a more inclusive future for all.
Become a monthly supporter and spread your gift across the whole year. Your monthly contributions help sustain our vital work by providing steady support that empowers us to advance our mission!
