A New Fiscal Year, A Renewed Commitment to Our Mission
As we step into Fiscal Year 2026, InCommunity and the InCommunity Foundation are more committed than ever to ensuring individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities receive the support they deserve - especially in the areas where public funding falls short.
Who We Are: The InCommunity Foundation
The InCommunity Foundation is the fundraising engine behind InCommunity. We partner with individuals, businesses, and grant-making organizations to raise the funds necessary to fill critical gaps that programs like Medicaid and Social Security don’t cover. These are the resources that allow us to go beyond the minimum - to provide care that is personal, dignified, and life-enhancing.
Our FY26 Vision: Growth, Gratitude, and Impact
This year, we are raising the bar. Our fundraising goal for FY26 is more than $1 million. That figure represents more than just dollars - it stands for thousands of moments of better care, stronger relationships, and safer, more comfortable homes.
But this isn’t just about money. It’s about people. We are launching a focused campaign to connect with more individuals who share our passion for this work - people who want to make a meaningful, lasting difference in the lives of the individuals and families we serve. And when they give, we want them to know how much it matters. That’s why we’re building stronger donor relationships, rooted in gratitude and impact.
Our Top Three Investment Priorities
As we pursue our FY26 goals, we’ve identified three core areas that need critical support:
1. Uncompensated Care
Each year, we provide approximately $2 million in services that are not reimbursed by Medicaid, Social Security, or private pay. This includes vital support like medications, staffing, and transportation. These aren’t extras - they’re essentials.
2. Talent Acquisition & Retention
Our direct-care staff are the heartbeat of InCommunity. Yet, low wages and economic pressure continue to push talented caregivers out of the industry. We’re working to reverse that trend. In FY26, we’ll continue investing in better pay and strategic retention programs, because when we care for our staff, they can better care for the individuals we serve.
3. Capital Improvements
We operate 41 residential homes, four day programs, a training center, and our corporate office. These buildings are more than just structures - they are homes, workplaces, and community spaces. From replacing HVAC units and roofing to remodeling kitchens and bathrooms, we’re committed to keeping our properties safe, functional, and dignified for everyone who walks through the door.
Rebuilding a Stronger Volunteer Program
Volunteers have always been an integral part of InCommunity. This year, we’re rebuilding our volunteer program with new tools, new training, and a whole new approach. Coming in September:
A refreshed volunteer website portal
A streamlined application and screening process
Improved onboarding and training resources
A modern volunteer management tool for easy opportunity sign-ups
We can’t wait to welcome new volunteers, and welcome back many familiar faces.
