D’Youville is an MSCHE-accredited, independent Catholic college located in Buffalo, New York with a student body of about 3,000 students.

Christopher Reeve Foundation
We are so grateful to the Christopher Reeve Foundation which helped support the care provided in our clinic for the neurologically impaired. Having a disability in such a poor nation is extremely difficult and the additional cost for medical care puts a tremendous hardship on individuals and families. The assistance provided has eased the burden for our patients. Read more about our grant here. Please read more about how the Christopher Reeve Foundation assists others at www.christopherreeve.org
Disability Rights Fund
The Disability Rights Fund believes that a strong movement — extending from local to national to global levels — is the cornerstone for rights to be recognized and achieved for all persons with disabilities. Recognizing the potential impact of a global human rights framework on the largest minority group in the world, the Disability Rights Fund was conceptualized as a response to the window of opportunity opened by the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). We partner with Team Zaryen and the Disability Rights Foundation to impact the lives of others with disability through empowering Team Zaryen to make a difference in Haiti.

Business4Vets
Business4Vets.org (B4V), a 501(c)(3) is a Non-Profit Organization, which provides valuable business opportunities, products, resources & services to veterans, reservists & active-duty military families to combat the challenges of unemployment & underemployment. They have vetted over 3,000 opportunities that offer low or no startup cost with unlimited earning potential. They have chosen the best of the 3,000 opportunities to give our military family the best opportunity for success. B4V connects veterans with the most successful business experts in the industry to provide training, coaching, mentoring, resources and support to help them achieve personal and professional success.
Home Modification for Veterans by Veterans
B4V realizes that veterans with disabilities are especially in need. Providing a business opportunity that they can start from home is so important. But equally important is the ability to access the communities in which they live. Home modification that is specific to their specific needs is critically important to the success of the veteran transitioning back to civilian living. Community Rehab Project provides consultant services to B4V on concepts of successful home modification for specific disabilities. Our Physical and Occupational Therapists work with veterans with disabilities to learn about options and determine which modifications will be most helpful for their success. Then, we work with veterans construction companies to implement the home modification recommendations. Learn more about Business4Vets here.
