Supporting high-functioning members of the special needs community
The SAIL Foundation is a charitable fund of the Community Foundation of Orange and Sullivan, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. Donations are tax deductible. Our desire is to develop a self-sustaining program empowering SAIL Foundation clients toward independent living before their parents are no longer able to care for them.
Our Story…
The SAIL Foundation was launched by parents of young adult men with disabilities and supportive members of our community. “Our boys” have difficulty maintaining employment and social contacts. Their high-functioning abilities make it difficult for them to engage successfully in typical support service programs.
SAIL clients face challenges associated with a variety of disabilities such as Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and Aspergers Syndrome, which is on the Autism Spectrum.
Because neurological disabilities are not always obvious, the unique needs of this group are often overlooked and frequently misunderstood in society. Most individuals in this group go through life with the least amount of help from our communities.
Our Mission
We are community members working together…
Our mission is to create a sustainable, supportive, residential base for high-functioning members of the special needs community, equipping them for independent living through a flexible and guided culture of support.
