At the heart of DFRC is a passionate, mission-driven community—led by our Executive Director and powered by devoted Trustees, staff, and volunteers who believe deeply in one another and the people we serve. Together, we champion inclusion, raise awareness, and fund life-changing programs that empower individuals with intellectual disABILITIES to discover their strengths, live with independence, and experience life fully and joyfully. We believe that people come first—always—and that our ABILITIES and disABILITIES are simply part of what makes each of us uniquely human.
