Easter Seals derives its operating funds in large part from local contributions made by individuals, organizations, and local businesses directly to the Center in support of its many programs, services, and facilities. Grants made by local, state, and national funding sources, including government and private foundation grants make up part of the Center's annual operating budget as well. Fees and charges are assessed for Easter Seal programs and services. Importantly however, fees are based upon a family's ability to pay using a sliding fee scale and no one is denied Easter Seal services due to the inability to pay. How can I help? Without the generous support of thousands of caring individuals, organizations, and local businesses, Easter Seals programs, services, and facilities would simply not be possible. Easter Seals affords a broad array of opportunities to contribute time, talent, and treasure to furthering the Easter Seal mission. Volunteer opportunities include serving on a special event fund-raising committee like golf, tennis, volleyball, wine tasting, softball, or any number of other events which afford the opportunity to have fun and network with other community minded volunteers while making a significant contribution to the important work of Easter Seals.
