Our WORK Pillar
The IDDeal foundation is dedicated to providing our members The IDDeal life which includes Work. We define Work as a purposeful day where our members use their unique abilities and engage in supported work-related activities, leaving them with a sense of accomplishment. Our members put their heart into their work and are able to find purpose and meaning as a result.
Our LIVE Pillar

Our Live pillar encompasses a community with safe, affordable, independent housing where third-party support services are provided to assist members with their unique needs. We are working to provide an independent community not only for the members but also for their caretakers to thrive together and separately.
Our PLAY Pillar

Our Play pillar is essential to support our members in living their IDDeal life. With Play, we focus on creating social opportunities around establishing and building relationships. These connections foster inclusion in the world, providing our members experiences where they can gain valuable life experiences, explore new areas, and embrace what makes them uniquely human.
