why this foundation exists

From One Mother’s Journey to a Mission for Families.

 Beyond the Diagnosis Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering families raising children with disabilities.


Inspired by lived experience, our work focuses on removing the barriers many caregivers face — including financial strain, lack of respite care, and limited access to supportive community programs.


Through inclusive events, caregiver support, and educational opportunities, we are building a community where families can pursue stability, opportunity, and hope for their future.

48 Families Supported

Through inclusive community events and disability-affirming programming.


35 Volunteers Engaged

Community members helping create inclusive opportunities for children of all abilities.

Supporting a single mother pursuing her education

“It breaks my heart when my babies miss out on so much but I am so excited to be part of a community where my boys can not only be accepted, but embraced and finally be able to participate in the types of activities kids should all get to experience.”


Kathryn Stinnett, Special Needs Parent
