NorthWest Colorado Center for Independence

A nonprofit organization

$70,141 raised by 172 donors

All donations stay in the communities from which they came and go directly to supporting those using our services. There is no cost to the people with disabilities with whom we work for any of the services we provide.

NWCCI supports people with disabilities to establish and maintain independence in the mountain communities we love. We connect those we serve with providers of services in areas such as housing, transportation, employment, assistive technology, access to healthcare & benefits, opportunities for civic engagement and leadership opportunities. We work together to set goals, explore options, make informed choices and develop independent living skills, such as self-advocacy and peer counseling, to further freedom and independence as valued members of inclusive, accessible and accommodating communities.

Mission
