Consider this an opportunity to support while learning and experiencing the unique opportunities Inclusive Adventures offers as a 501(c)3 non-profit to the most physically and mobility impaired persons often in wheelchairs including wounded veterans and families with children with special needs. If you or a
member of your family has a physical disability to whom boating or adventure in general otherwise seems a near impossibility, and are not able to afford to help cover the cost of their participation, they should contact us to apply for a grant. Through these experiences we are about changing perspective from programmed vulnerable dependency to confident self-determination. If you or your organization would consider sponsoring an event or disabled participants with a tax deductible donation, contact Inclusive Adventures so we can create a custom tailored experience as a thank you for your support!
