LOV Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to uniting people with disabilities to engage and build their best lives through innovative services, is pleased to announce it has received a $45,000 grant from the Otto Bremer Trust. With a growing demand for services, this grant provides general operations support that will bolster LOV Inc.’s capacity and infrastructure and serve as an investment in the lives of people with disabilities.
“We are honored by the continued support of the Otto Bremer Trust and are already busy putting their donation to work toward our mission,” says Stefanie Primm, LOV Inc.’s Executive Director. “We appreciate their investment in our infrastructure and capacity, which allows us to spend more time focusing on our mission and the work we do with individuals with disabilities.”
Founded in 1944, the Otto Bremer Trust is a charitable organization that invests in people, places, and opportunities in the Upper Midwest. LOV Inc. is honored to have received the Trust’s support for two consecutive years.
LOV Inc. was founded in 2008 to unite individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. What began as a small, local operation has expanded to an organization with state-wide reach. With hubs in Madison and Milwaukee, LOV supports individuals with disabilities in community integration, offers education and training around future planning, provides peer groups for building social skills, and supports families of children and youth with disabilities.
In the last year, LOV Inc. supported more than 150 individuals with disabilities and over 130 families that include an individual with disabilities in 15 counties throughout the state. In recent years, we have expanded our offerings to address inequities within the disability services community through our two family navigator projects, offering specialized programming for Latino and Tribal families.
LOV Inc. relies on a variety of support, including individual donations, corporate sponsorships, grants, and community partnerships. If you want to support individuals with disabilities to live a more inclusive, fulfilling life, consider making a donation or becoming a corporate supporter.
