Your Support, Your Impact
Introducing Our New Giving Page
Feb 28, 2025
At CIDE, we are committed to creating a world without barriers—where innovation and technology empower people with disabilities, and older adults aging into disabilities, to live more independent, fulfilling lives. We are excited to introduce our new Giving Page, a central hub where you can explore opportunities to support our mission and make a direct impact.
Introducing Two New Funds
The launch of this easy-to-use page includes two exciting new funds:
Assistive Technology (AT) Clinic Fund
Provide financial support for individuals who need assistive technology services, assessments, and interventions. This fund helps ensure that critical services remain accessible to those who might not qualify for Medicaid or other funding sources.
Student Success Fund
Build a pipeline of future leaders in assistive technology design and engineering. Your support through this fund helps provide scholarships, hands-on learning opportunities, and funding for student-led projects that drive assistive technology innovation.
Existing Funds
In addition to these new funds, our Giving Page also features two existing ways to support CIDE’s work:
CIDE Endowment
Support groundbreaking research, innovative projects, and outreach efforts that advance the field of design and engineering. This fund ensures long-term sustainability for our research, projects, and outreach, helping us continue developing groundbreaking assistive technologies and expanding access to those who need them.
Endowed Professorship
Help us drive innovation, mentor the next generation of experts, and develop solutions that address real-world accessibility challenges. Our endowed professorship strengthens our ability to attract and retain top faculty who drive innovation, mentor students, and advance the field of accessible design and engineering.
