Blossom IDD

Blossom IDD Supporting adults with IDD as they build full, connected lives.

Blossom IDD is a place where adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) can receive the resources they need to live a full, independent life in the community. Our programming aims to:

Create Community Connections: We integrate our members into their local communities through group activities, including exploring local events, restaurants, and shops in a supportive environment.

Advocate and Share Resources: We help individuals and families navigate available resources, understand related costs, access services, and determine the best steps forward. Design Accessible Travel: We create travel opportunities for individuals with IDD, fostering growth and independence through transformative experiences that they may not otherwise access without their families. Collaborate on Life Planning: We assist in developing comprehensive life plans covering physical and emotional well-being, employment, social justice, housing, and more, offering direction and guidance for a fulfilling life. Blossom IDD’s programming and services are designed to provide opportunities to address common issues faced by this population while at the same time allowing flexibility for individuals to set their own goals depending on their individual needs. Many of the individuals we serve live on fixed incomes with little to no room in their budgets for recreation, leisure, and social experiences—which directly impact their mental health. That’s why Blossom IDD offers so many programs that address these unmet needs and are free to participants or have nominal fees.

We were honored to join three other amazing disability-serving organizations for a panel with the full team at Bader Philanthropies.

It was a meaningful opportunity to share Blossom's mission and the work happening across our community to create opportunities for people with disabilities.

We also got a change to tour the gorgeous new Islands of Brilliance Milwaukee location, and wow what a space ✨

New skills, fresh creativity, and a little sawdust along the way ⚓️🛠️

At our Day Bloom travel experience with Hands Boatworks, participants stepped into the workshop to build their own mini boats from start to finish. From learning new tools and techniques to adding creative personal touches, everyone had the chance to try something new, work with their hands, and create something they were proud of.

✨ We’re feeling incredibly grateful and honored! ✨

Last month, members of the Blossom IDD team had the opportunity to attend the Civic Awards and celebrate alongside so many organizations making an impact in our community. We were thrilled to be among the 12 nonprofit organizations selected to receive funding through The Greater Cedarburg Foundation’s 2025–2026 grant cycle.

A huge THANK YOU to Greater Cedarburg Foundation for investing in local organizations and for supporting meaningful opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This year’s record-breaking $200,000 in grant awards reflects the extraordinary generosity and heart of our community, and we are so grateful to be part of it.

We loved sharing the evening with two of our incredible board members, our Executive Director, Director of Finance & Development, and Program Coordinator—and of course we had to capture a few serious and silly moments along the way. 💙🌸

Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us continue creating spaces where people with IDD can connect, grow, and thrive.
