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 $4,000 grant from the Green Bay Packers Foundation. This grant funding will be used to support LOV Inc.’s educational programming.
“Our unique educational programming supports parents, so that they, in turn, can support their child with a disability. Offered at no cost to participants, these sessions bring together knowledgeable facilitators, behavioral, health, and advocacy experts, and other families to provide a circle of support and resources,” says Stefanie Primm, LOV Inc.’s Executive Director.
LOV Inc.’s educational programming breaks down barriers that often hinder individuals or families from accessing disability benefits, planning for the transition to adulthood, and addressing educational issues in school. The Learn with LOV educational program is offered in Dane County and the greater Milwaukee area, providing crucial information and support during key moments, such as a child’s diagnosis or a teen’s transition into adulthood. Additionally, LOV Inc. offers two tailored programs – The Tribal Family Navigator Project and the Latino Family Navigator Project– to increase access to critical information and resources.
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.
Founded in 1986, the Green Bay Packers Foundation is a charitable organization that invests in organizations throughout Wisconsin. It is a component of Green Bay Packers Give Back, the all-encompassing community outreach initiative.
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.
