Sustaining Our Mission, Together

IMDSA exists because families, self-advocates, and supporters believe that the mosaic Down syndrome community deserves connection, understanding, and access to trusted resources. Everything we do is made possible through the generosity of people like you.

In 2026, IMDSA’s goal is to raise $50,000 to sustain the programs and services we currently have in place — ensuring that families, self-advocates, and researchers continue to receive the support they rely on.

When you give to IMDSA, you help sustain a community built on connection, education, and advocacy.

Your Donation Helps Sustain:

✔ Family Support & Communication
Responding to emails, messages, and questions from families around the world with care, compassion, and guidance.

✔ Awareness & Education Campaigns
Raising visibility and understanding of mosaic Down syndrome through trusted, accurate information.

✔ Research Partnerships
Connecting families with research opportunities and supporting studies that advance knowledge about mosaic Down syndrome.

✔ Self-Advocate Support through S.A.L.T.
Sustaining the S.A.L.T. (Self-Advocates Learning Together) program, which empowers self-advocates through education, leadership, connection, and community engagement.

✔ Annual Research & Retreat Weekend
Planning and hosting a meaningful event that brings families, self-advocates, and researchers together for learning, support, and connection.

Your gift sustains the work happening every single day behind the scenes — and the community that depends on it.

Sustain IMDSA Beyond a Single Gift

You can also help sustain IMDSA by creating a personal fundraiser and inviting others to support a cause that matters to you. Every story shared helps sustain awareness, connection, and hope for another family.

Whether you give, fundraise, or share our mission — you are sustaining IMDSA.
