Donate to ASDC

What does ASDC do?

The American Society for Deaf Children provides resources, advocacy, and mentoring for every family with a deaf child so they can communicate, connect, and thrive – together.

Did you know that more than 85% of deaf children are born to hearing parents? Your membership/donation ensures that parents get immediate access to the resources they need to:

• learn American Sign Language (ASL)
  to provide a language-rich environment for their child
• connect with members of the Deaf community
  to provide a strong social support network and language models for their child
• effectively advocate for their child’s educational rights
  to get the best possible outcomes for their child from the very beginning

What does my donation do?  

In 2019, our donors made a significant difference!  Through memberships and generous donor support, we were able to:

• bring our highly-praised ASL Weekend workshops to 220 families in six cities
• offer free online ASL lessons with a member of the Deaf community to every ASDC member family
• provide more than $21,600 in scholarships to help members attend ASDC events
• create a new educational advocacy app for parents in partnership with NAD, Gallaudet, and Hands & Voices

We’ve got even more in store for 2020 and your donation will keep the momentum going!
