About Easter Seals
Easter Seals Inc concentrates its grantmaking on disability services, with repeated large awards to affiliated Easterseals organizations and partner organizations that serve people with disabilities. In the latest grants data, Aarp received multiple multimillion-dollar grants, including $5,217,558 in 2023 and $5,178,396 in 2025, both listed for disability services. Easterseals Oregon also appears as a major recipient, with awards of $5,165,849 in 2025 and $4,122,457 in 2024. That pattern points to support for direct service delivery rather than a wide spread of unrelated causes. The foundation’s stated mission is to provide services, education, outreach and advocacy so that people living with disabilities can live, learn, work and play in their communities. The recipient roster also includes Easterseals New Jersey, Easterseals-goodwill Northern Rocky Mountain, Easterseals Alabama, and Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley, showing a grantmaking approach centered on established disability-service providers. Leadership is listed as Kendra Davenport.
