Urgent Support for IDP's Global Mission
Donation protected
IDP is a woman-owned small business that works in 22 countries worldwide to improve the education of children with disabilities. Our work has improved the lives of thousands of children with disabilities and their families worldwide. As a small business that receives 95% of its income from US foreign assistance, it has been devastated by the recent funding freeze of USAID funds. We are working hard to pay our staff for work done prior to the January 24th funding freeze when we had active legal contracts. We are now being informed that we may not be paid by the US government for our past work.
We have started a GoFundMe campaign to be able to pay our staff and defer bankruptcy. All funding will go to our staff's pending salaries (senior staff will not be paid at this time) many of which are people with disabilities. If, for any reason, funds are restored and we overcome this funding crisis, all collected funds will go to independent research on how to improve the lives of children with disabilities worldwide. Thank you in advance for your support of our mission and our work.
