It is only through the generosity of others that DSI is able to provide an array of services to children and adults with Down syndrome. It is a privilege to serve babies with Down syndrome by providing support and guidance to their parents. We assist parents from the time they learn of their child’s diagnosis (before birth in some cases) and throughout their child’s life. We also serve adults with Down syndrome.
By donating to DSI, you make a real difference in the lives of individuals with Down syndrome and their families. There are thousands of people in the United States living with Down syndrome today. That number is growing as people with Down syndrome now live into their fifties and sixties with improved standards of living and health care, and inclusion in family and community life. We are dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals from infancy through adulthood and your support will help us to continue our mission.
There are several ways to make a tax-deductable donation to the DSI.
Choose the option that is best for you.
