AIM is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to empowering people with disabilities to live independently and with dignity. This holiday season, you can help us make a difference in our community. All donations are tax deductible.
Monetary Donations
Help us purchase healthy food, winter gear, and assistive devices. Every dollar goes directly toward serving individuals with disabilities and families in need. Use the Donate link on the home page of our website to donate online via PayPal, credit card or debit card, or donate via Venmo by searching for @AIMILC under Charities.
In-Kind Donations: You might have some of these items right at home. Donating them to AIM is a powerful way to give—just as meaningful as a financial contribution—and helps us support people in need.
