    Family Giving Circle

    History
    In 1953, a small group of families gathered to discuss ways they could help their children have a brighter, more secure future.  The result was the founding of Ability Beyond Disability.

    Today
    Ability Beyond Disability has grown into a leading provider of home, health, employment, transportation and rehabilitation services to individuals with disabilities living in Connecticut and New York.

    The Challenge
    What was true in the beginning is still true today: The future lies in the hands of our family members!  We are asking all of our family members to reach out to their family and friends for the purpose of forming a "Family Giving Circle".  The goal of each circle is to provide funding to support the programs and services that leads to independence, hope and dignity for their loved one.

    How you can help
    Each family giving circle has a founding circle member: The Family Giving Circle Founder. The FGC Founder contacts and recruits other family members and friends to form a Family Giving Circle.  Each FGC will have a goal determined by its founder and goals are set according to three levels: $1,000, $2,500 and $5,000. The FGC Founder will select the level at which the circle will give. You can set up your own circle or join an existing circle right now.  Click here to join today!!!
