Detailed Organization Information:
PHILOSOPHY
UCP/Detroit believes strongly in the right to self-determination and independence for all persons regardless of any physical, mental or emotional limitation that society calls a "disability." The services UCP/Detroit offers and actions we take on behalf of persons with disabilities are based on this belief, and, as such, are designed to encourage and empower individuals with disabilities. UCP/Detroit recognizes that part of their empowerment is contingent upon our belief - and that of the significant others in their lives - that they are capable, valuable and equal members of the human race.
WHAT DOES UCP/DETROIT DO?
UCP/Detroit provides information and referral services, employment programs (Benefit Planning, Assistance and Outreach Project), individual and family support services (Advocacy, Everyone Together and Parent Coalition), community inclusion and independent living supports and community education. More than 65% of the people served by UCP/Detroit have a disability other than cerebral palsy. These include spinal cord injuries, visual disabilities, learning disabilities and other disabilities that affect daily living.
UCP/Detroit is consistently recognized as one of the most efficient charitable organizations in the United States by several publications, including The Chronicle of Philanthropy. More than $.85 of every dollar raised is used to provide programs and services for people with disabilities.
WHO SUPPORTS OUR PROGRAMS?
UCP/Detroit is one of over 110 local non-profit organizations that receives funds from United Way Community Services. Additional funds are raised through various fundraising activities, special events, bequests and memorials, and private donations.
