Seeing Possibilities Beyond Disabilities
At St. Coletta of Greater Washington, we believe in a world where individuals with intellectual disabilities are seen for their abilities, not their limitations. Through education, job training, and a lifelong commitment to inclusion, we empower our students to thrive — in the classroom, the workplace, and the community.
Why Now
The need has never been greater. With increasing demand for individualized services, accessible education, and meaningful inclusion, we are at a turning point. A growing number of families are turning to St. Coletta, seeking a place where their children can be seen, supported, and celebrated.
To meet this need, we must expand our capacity, invest in innovation, and build a sustainable foundation for the future. Major donors are essential partners in making this vision real.
What Your Investment Makes Possible
Major gifts allow us to go beyond what’s expected — and do what’s exceptional.
Opportunities for Impact:
- Transform Learning Spaces: Support state-of-the-art classrooms, therapeutic environments, and adaptive technologies.
- Expand Vocational Training: Fund real-world employment pathways and job coaching for young adults.
- Strengthen Family Services: Provide wraparound support and counseling for caregivers navigating complex systems.
- Seed Our Future: Contribute to the growth of our endowment and long-term sustainability.
The Power of Your Gift
A major gift is more than a donation — it’s a declaration of belief in the potential of every person.
- $15,000 could equip a full classroom with new assistive technology.
- $25,000 could underwrite an internship program for young adults transitioning to employment.
- $50,000+ could create a named fund supporting individualized learning plans for students most in need.
Every gift is tailored. Every donor is part of our story.
