Our goal is to eliminate financial barriers that prevent families from accessing expert special education advocacy services. Through the Foundation, we provide financial support to families in need, ensuring every child can reach their full potential. We also aim to raise awareness about the critical role advocacy plays in the lives of children and families, building a network of support through community outreach and collaboration.

Mission Statement:  The REACH Foundation is dedicated to empowering families by providing the knowledge, tools, and support necessary to navigate the complexities of education and mental health services. We are committed to inclusivity, ensuring that no family is denied advocacy services due to financial constraints. Our mission is to equip families with the resources needed to advocate for their children and ensure their educational needs are fully met.

Vision Statement:  Our vision is a future where every family, regardless of financial circumstances, has access to expert advocacy services from early intervention through graduation. We aim to remove financial barriers, enabling families to seek essential support for children with disabilities and mental health challenges. By collaborating with community programs, we strive to create a seamless referral network that empowers families to secure the best possible outcomes for their children.

Purpose Statement: The REACH Foundation ensures that all families, regardless of income, have access to personalized advocacy services. Our purpose is to empower families who may not be able to afford traditional advocacy, providing financial assistance that ensure every child has the educational support they need to thrive.
