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.
