Individual Acts of Responsibility = The Foundation of a Good Society… Your donations support staff to invite local people into one-to-one advocacy relationships with a person who is at risk of abuse, neglect, or diminished opportunities because of prejudice toward disability.
We depend on our community for support and are proud to have Savannah citizens, foundations, businesses, churches, synagogues, civic clubs, and local government as investors in our vision. We are also proud to receive funding through the Georgia Advocacy Office, the State of Georgia’s Protection and Advocacy organization.
We started in 1978 with a budget of $33,000 with all funds from the state government through the Georgia Advocacy Office. Our income sources for fiscal year 2009 are:
The Georgia Advocacy Office $82,500
City of Savannah $11,000
Local Citizens $55,000
Local Foundations $45,000
Local Businesses $9,500
