Verland Endowment

Government funding to support people with mental retardation is absolutely essential to the operation of human service organizations such as Verland. Mere government support, however, could never account for the extraordinary level of professional and personal supports and services for which Verland is known. Over the last 25 years, the leadership at Verland has successfully raised over $13,000,000; all in the hopes of ensuring that the dignity of each individual's lifestyle is never compromised.

We believe this generous level of support from both the public and private sectors reflects an enthusiastic endorsement of the far-reaching initiatives and person-centered programming that have distinguished Verland's reputation.

In the eyes of the people managing as well as those benefiting from these funds, there are no small donations. Indeed, every dollar and every "in-kind" service is deeply appreciated. Over the past two decades, donations to Verland have come in the form of direct gifts from individuals and business entities, as well as personal bequests, public and private grants and physical property.

Securing outside support is an on-going challenge that will necessarily remain at the heart of Verland's continued success. Those interested in furthering Verland's needed endeavors are welcome to call our development offices at (412) 741-2578.
