Supporting Independence Requires More Than Services

Helping adults with disabilities build independent and fulfilling lives takes more than good intentions; it requires ongoing support, resources, and strong community partnerships.

Many nonprofit organizations that provide disability services across Maryland face increasing challenges as operating costs rise and funding sources become more limited. Yet the need for support has not slowed down.

At My Own Place Inc, we continue to believe every individual deserves the opportunity to live with dignity, independence, and choice.

Why Donor Support Creates Real Impact

Community donors help provide the stability that allows programs to continue serving individuals and families.

Support from donors helps:

• Expand independent living opportunities
• Create inclusive community programs
• Support transportation and accessibility needs
• Provide life-skills training and educational opportunities
• Build sustainable long-term resources

Behind every donation is an opportunity for someone to gain confidence, independence, and a stronger connection to their community.

Building Maryland Communities Together

Creating a more inclusive Maryland requires everyone working together.

Donors are not simply contributing financially — they are investing in futures, opportunities, and lives.
