I'm asking for your support, so let me tell you why.

I first learned about this life changing organization through a marketing agency I worked for where Mattingly Edge was a client. When we had our first call with the Mattingly Edge team, they shared stories about some of the people they supported and how their lives had been drastically changed for the better after getting the proper support. That call literally left me with tears in my eyes and I knew from that day that I would always support the work being done at Mattingly Edge.

The work being done not only empowers people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live and lead fulfilling lives, it also helped me to understand the depth of the challenges people with disabilities face in a world where they're often seen as incapable, incompetent, or less than simply because of their differences.

That’s why I’m raising funds for Mattingly Edge and why I need your support! Your donation will directly help people with disabilities find meaningful work, build relationships, own homes, and so much more.

Every dollar makes a difference, so no matter the amount, PLEASE Donate!

	$25 helps fund Employment Discovery Through the Discovery process, Edge Employment seeks to uncover the individual skills of job candidates with disabilities, who currently face a 66% unemployment rate in KY.

	$50 helps fund Job Customization Our employment team is one of only two in Louisville trained to collaborate with business leaders and job candidates with disabilities to develop customized employment opportunities, one person at a time.

	$100 helps fund Help at Home Mattingly Edge offers individualized support to help people with the everyday responsibilities we all share—cooking, cleaning, managing schedules, paying bills, and contributing to their communities.

	$150 helps Build Community Only 10% of adults with disabilities in KY are part of an integrated community group where they can build relationships beyond paid supporters. That’s Mattingly Edge helps them connect with their communities by joining clubs, volunteering, and frequenting local spots like bars or coffee shops.

	$200 supports Empowerment & Personal Choice Guardianship is often the default for people with disabilities, despite availability of less restrictive options. Many state guardians, managing over 100 cases, have never even met those they make decisions for. We champion alternatives that enhance autonomy, and help those already assigned state guardians switch to private guardians they know and trust.

	$250 helps find Accessible Housing In a city where there is a shortage of 36,000 affordable housing units, only a fraction of what's available is even accessible. Our Inclusive Housing Solutions project helps people with disabilities in Louisville find or adapt homes to meet their needs and navigate paths toward home ownership.
