Overview

One of The Resource Center funds managed by the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation. This fund supports the needs of individuals with disabilities in the areas of personal care, personal appearance, clothing, protective gear, transportation, and other unfunded needs.

Funding Areas:

  • Personal care items
  • Personal appearance needs
  • Clothing
  • Protective gear
  • Transportation
  • Other unfunded needs

Purpose: Margaret Look established this fund so that people with disabilities would be able to obtain money for a variety of needed items that can enhance their community acceptance and their independence.

Founder's Statement: "I started this fund because I have known people with disabilities who didn't have the money to buy the proper clothes, to get a hair cut, or even small incidentals. It is these small things that make a person look better and feel better, that give him confidence in a world which often judges on appearances."

Geographic Scope: Chautauqua County, New York

Eligibility: Individuals with disabilities
