Our thread

Like the ribbon that runs through our emblem, one belief connects every program we fund: ability looks different for everyone, and every version of it deserves investment. Donations to Stella Cares are routed directly to the cause a giver chooses — no general fund, no guessing where it went.

Where donations go

Four causes, one ribbon connecting them

Every gift is designated to one of four active funds. Pick the one that means the most to you, or split a gift across all four at checkout.

Aa

Adaptive Learning

Funds one-on-one tutoring, sensory-friendly classroom kits, and assistive reading technology for students with learning and developmental disabilities.

Therapy & Mobility

Covers co-pays for physical, speech, and occupational therapy, plus wheelchairs, braces, and mobility devices insurance won't fully cover.

Family Respite Support

Gives primary caregivers funded respite hours and connects families with peer support groups and in-home care training.

Inclusive Community

Runs after-school programs, adaptive sports leagues, and job-readiness workshops built for neurodivergent and disabled young adults.

Every tier below funds something specific — you'll see exactly what your gift buys before you check out.

From a Stella Cares family
The respite hours meant I could take a shift at work without worry for the first time in three years. The tutoring meant my son read his first full book out loud. Different funds, same relief.
