Current Project: Independence Matters
"Independence" means different things to different people, but it's an important part of most of our lives.
At Mosaic, we empower people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live independent, full lives. One of the ways we do this is by altering our physical campus so that people of all abilities can access different parts of our buildings. This year we will work to raise funds to purchase and install an overhead lift that will allow more of the people we support to access a whirlpool tub in our Physical Dvelopment Center. Currently, a manual lift is not able to get close enough to the tub for many people using a wheelchair to trasfer safely. Proper lifting equipment not only helps us protect the safety and dignity of people we support, but it also protects the safety of the support professionals who serve them.
A lift costs $15,000, so our goal through Big Give Gage is to raise at least $5,000. Gifts given through Big Give Gage on Sept. 10 will be impactful as we work to make our whirlpool tub fully accessible.
What is the need? An overhead lift
What is the cost? $15,000
How will Mosaic complete the project if today's goal is only $5,000?
The funds raised today will be combined with other resources and used as matching funds for grant applications, making your gift today even more impactful. Raising $15,000 during the Big Give would be okay with us, too!
Thank you in advance for supporting Mosaic.

At Mosaic, we empower people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live independent, full lives. One of the ways we do this is by altering our physical campus so that people of all abilities are able to access different parts of our buildlings. This year, we would like to focus those alterations on making our Chapel more accessible.
- What is the need? An automatic door switch on Chapel doors to continue to make our campus accessible to all.

"Independence" means different things to different people, but it's an important part of most of our lives.
At Mosaic, we empower people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live independent, full lives. One of the ways we do this is by providing transportation for people on the campus to get to and from work and lunch, both important outlets.
- What is the need? As more of the people we support age and the need for transportation on the campus grows, we need your help to continue providing this important service. We currently have one 12-passenger vehicle. Our goal this year is to raise money to purchase a second, so we can keep 24 people on the move.
- What is the cost? A new 12-passenger vehicle costs $13,000.
How will we purchase the vehicle if today's goal is only $5,000?
The funds raised today will be combined with other resources and used as matching funds for grant applications, making your gift today even more impactful. Raising $13,000 on Big Give Gage would be okay with us, too!
Thank you in advance for supporting Mosaic.
