Adults with Intellectual Disabilities

 

 

Trousdale School, a nonprofit organization providing
lifelong learning for adults with intellectual disabilities, is proud to announce the launch of its
new Annual Fund, a bold initiative designed to strengthen programs, expand community
partnerships, and ensure sustainable growth for years to come.
Now celebrating 20 years of service, Trousdale School offers academic, vocational, and
life-skills education to more than 30 students each year. This new fund invites donors at every
level to invest in a future where every adult with intellectual disabilities can thrive in a community
of dignity, learning, and love.
“We believe every person deserves the opportunity to grow, belong, and lead a meaningful life,”
said Jake Stum, Managing Director of Trousdale School. “The Annual Fund is a way for families,
businesses, churches, and neighbors to come alongside our mission and help us build that
future—together.”

Giving Levels for the Annual Fund Include:

  • $250 – Bronze Builder 

  • $1,000 – Silver Supporter 

  • $2,500 – Gold Champion

  • $5,000 – Platinum Donor

Every gift—regardless of size—will directly support student programming, transportation, art and
