A $2,500 grant helps Morgan’s Caring Connection expand their virtual education program for families raising dependents with disabilities to South Wood County.

Their mission, to see a world where every family raising a special needs dependent has access to essential planning, lifelong security, and lasting peace of mind, aligns with Incourage’s vision to create a community that works well for all. We were excited to extend support through a community grant and look forward to seeing the impact this education will have on local families.

This grant was made possible by generous donations to our Community Grants Fund. If you are interested in supporting grants like these, visit our giving page at www.incouragecf.org/givenow/ and choose ‘Community Grants (Meeting Community Needs)’ from the dropdown.
