This #GivingTuesday, Make an Impact with Barrier-Free!

Giving Tuesday, observed on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, is a global generosity movement that empowers individuals and organizations to transform their communities and the world.

This year, we invite you to support Barrier-Free’s mission of inclusivity by making a donation or hosting a personal #GivingTuesday fundraiser. Every contribution helps us continue creating opportunities for neurodivergent adults to thrive through inclusive arts and social programming.

Together, we can make a difference!

The Benefit of Barrier-Free

The long-term benefit of being involved with Barrier-Free is that Geoffrey [top left] has made great strides socially.  His overall confidence has increased, and he is now willing to step out of his comfort zone.

Robert & Ernestine Rodgers Scholarship Fund

At Barrier-Free, we believe in making inclusive theater accessible to all. That's why participants in our Inclusive Theater Companies have the opportunity to apply for the Robert & Ernestine Rodgers Scholarship. This scholarship aims to alleviate the financial burden of program fees, ensuring that talented individuals can fully engage in our transformative theater experiences.
​
We understand that affordability is essential, and we are dedicated to assisting families in exploring various funding options to cover program costs. Additionally, we work closely with families to establish mutually agreed-upon payment schedules or tuition rates, ensuring that no one is hindered from creating, expressing, and achieving with us.

Donate to the Scholarship Fund via the donation box at the top of the page.
