Breaking Down Barriers and Challenging Stereotypes to Promote Empathy, Equity and Independence for People with Disabilities

Melwood is a leading employer, advocate and preferred provider for people with disabilities. Since 1963, Melwood has been breaking down barriers and challenging stereotypes to promote empathy, equity and independence for people with disabilities. In giving to Melwood, you are supporting job training, coaching, placement, strategic partnerships and programs from youth to seniors that empower people with disabilities to live, work and thrive in their communities and build a more inclusive world. 

As a donor, you can support Melwood by donating to them through your employer’s workplace giving program. While there may be multiple donation options depending on your employer-sponsored charitable giving program, payroll deduction pledges in particular are a cost effective and near effortless way to support Melwood and have a big impact. 

If you are a Federal or Postal employee/retiree, or military personnel, click here to donate through the Combined Federal Campaign donation portal and search for CFC# 21166 or enter “Melwood” in the charity search field. 

If you work in the private sector, or work for a State/county/local government or municipal agency, please contact your HR for a link to your organization’s workplace giving donation site.
