Giving to IHDD

The IHDD at the University of Washington is one of six sites nationwide that houses all three programs: IDDRC, UCEDD and LEND. Our goal is to improve the lives of folks with developmental disabilities! While these programs are federally funded, this funding has decreased by about 50% over the past decades, during a time when costs and need are increasing. We therefore need to look to outside support to continue this important work.
