Our Funding

How We Are Funded

Alvord-Taylor is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, primarily funded by Federal Medicaid Funds distributed by the State of Oregon. However, these funds alone aren’t enough. Grants and donations play a vital role in expanding and enhancing our services, ensuring the individuals we support receive the care and opportunities they deserve.

Federal Medicaid Funds

Medicaid funding provides essential support for our services, ensuring individuals with disabilities receive the care they need. However, additional funding is required to enhance programs and expand opportunities.

Grants

Grants help bridge funding gaps, allowing us to improve services, develop new programs, and provide greater independence and community access for those we support.

Donations

Every donation makes a difference, helping us enhance care, create meaningful opportunities, and ensure individuals with disabilities live fulfilling, independent lives within their communities.

Community Inclusion

We empower individuals with disabilities to engage in their communities, fostering independence, connection, and a sense of belonging through meaningful activities and support services.
