Resources To Change Lives

May Foundation > Resources To Change Lives

Helping Children | Helping Adults | Annual Appeal

The May Foundation is dedicated to developing the funding to help children and adults with special needs realize the potential in their lives. See how your donation can make a difference.

Helping Children

Brockton School Gymnasium
The May Center for Education and Neurorehabilitation in Brockton is one of the few programs in the country designed to help children rehabilitate and recover from a traumatic brain injury. To provide our students with a more versatile and therapeutic environment, we have begun a campaign to upgrade and renovate both our existing gymnasium and physical therapy room. Campaign Goal: $100,000

Computers for May Schools
Over the next three years, our goal is to upgrade the classroom computers and computer software in our five schools. This will give us the ability to provide our students with the most comprehensive learning resources and help to advance their development. Campaign Goal: $100,000

Chatham School Gymnasium
The May Center for Child Development in Chatham is a nationally recognized special education program dedicated to serving the needs of children with autism and other developmental disabilities. A campaign is underway to raise support for the construction of a gymnasium on the Chatham campus. This is a vitally important resource which will enhance both the quality of life and health for our students. Campaign Goal: $250,000

Springfield School
The May Institute is developing a new school for children with autism in western Massachusetts. The school will provide advanced educational and developmental services to children living in the Greater Springfield area. A campaign is underway to raise start-up support for the school. Campaign Goal: $100,000

Helping Adults

Easton Group Home
A campaign is underway to build a community group home in Easton for four disabled young men. Families, friends, and local businesses are working together to secure donations of land and building materials. This project is in keeping with the May Institute’s commitment to enhancing independence through community living. Campaign Goal: $500,000 (Includes land, building materials, and labor)

Healthy Aging Initiative
The aging of the disabled population requires a greater understanding of ways to promote and sustain a high level of health and wellness over the life of the individual. A campaign is underway to support a research and training initiative in over 100 community-based residences in Massachusetts over the next several years. The study will address the health needs of aging individuals with developmental disabilities, as well as the training of direct care professionals. Campaign Goal: $250,000

Mashpee Center Greenhouse
The May Institute is committed to enhancing each individual’s level of physical, social, and intellectual independence through structured, therapeutic programs. A campaign is underway to develop a greenhouse to provide adults in our Mashpee Center program with an opportunity for vocational and therapeutic development. Campaign Goal: $100,000
