The Exceptional Foundation Kite Society honors donors who give $1,000 or more annually. Donors who join this giving society – made up of four different levels – will help us foster a welcoming and engaging community for adults and children with intellectual disabilities. Through each level, we want to recognize the impact you have on The Foundation and what that support looks like in our programs each day, month, and year. Kite Society donors will make our programs the best they can be, from the resources needed every week to the lifelong community we create for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
