    About Disabling Barriers

    Disabling Barriers serves the physical and behavioral health of children and young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities living in Southern Colorado by providing grants to fill unmet needs, overcome barriers, and support caregivers through improved access to opportunities, programs, and resources so individuals with disabilities can reach their highest level of independence and potential.

    About Disabling Barriers

    Disabling Barriers centers its grantmaking on children and young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Southern Colorado, using annual grants to address unmet needs, barriers to access, and caregiver support. Its awards cover direct programs, equipment purchases, and capital improvements rather than building construction, and the recent record shows repeated support for organizations that deliver therapy, independence-building services, and family assistance. Among the largest recent awards, Nursing and Therapy Services of Colorado in Colorado Springs received $162,938 in 2025 for program support, while The Arc Pikes Peak Region received $140,400 the same year. The foundation has also backed Widefield School District 3, Griffiths Center Pasa, and Our House with six-figure grants, indicating that it works across both direct service providers and community institutions serving people with I/DD. The grant program is open to nonprofit and governmental organizations serving this population in Southern Colorado, with a focus that includes medical care and case management awareness, assistive technology, home care and respite, independent living, sports and recreation, coaching, and post-high school education and job support. The pattern across recent grants suggests sustained attention to services that help recipients participate more fully in daily life and community settings.

    What Disabling Barriers Funds

    A major thread in Disabling Barriers’ giving is therapy and care coordination. In 2025, it awarded $162,938 to Nursing and Therapy Services of Colorado for program support, and the organization appears again with $117,064 in 2024 and $135,000 in 2023 for program operations. The foundation also supports family-centered disability services. Family Voices Colorado received $91,639 in 2025 and $60,640 in 2024, both for program support or program operations, showing sustained attention to caregiver-facing work. Another cause area is access to recreation and community participation. The Arc Pikes Peak Region received $140,400 in 2025, while Adaptive Sports Center received $70,350 in 2024 and $61,000 in 2025. Disabling Barriers also funds school and transition support, as shown by its $111,246 grant to Widefield School District 3 and $75,000 to The Resource Exchange.

    How Disabling Barriers Gives

    Typical awards sit in the mid-five-figure range, with a p25 of $18,537, median of $30,125, and p75 of $56,062.

The foundation’s active grant programs are annual and competitive, and they accept unsolicited applications. Its funding is primarily program support and operating support, with awards also directed to equipment purchases and capital improvements.
