In 1998 our founder, Susan Garber, began approaching Assistive Technology (AT) manufacturers and vendors about the concept of discounting AT in exchange for larger, pooled orders. While many saw this approach as a good business practice, a few groused,
"When Pigs Fly."
Since our Cooperative purchasing service began in March of 1999, we have saved schools, families, organizations, and governmental institutions $1.8 Million Dollars and have trained approximately 4,700 people through workshops, seminars, make and takes, and expos.
Indeed, the pig is flying.
But we need your financial assistance to provide more much-needed training to support use of the AT programs and devices being purchased, and to expand our demonstration and loan programs for pubblic use. Won't you help us "Keep the Pig Flying" for all those with special needs by making a tax deductible contribution today?
A recent audit showed that 88 cents of every dollar goes toward program services, and 12 cents goes toward management and general expenses.
