The DOLE FOUNDATION is an historic private initiative, a nonpartisan charitable foundation dedicated to the economic independence of persons with disabilities. The Foundation was created by Senator Bob Dole as a means to encourage opportunity for disabled persons in competitive employment.

The DOLE FOUNDATION has a very specific purpose — to put private dollars to work improving the systems that link disabled persons with productive employment. Funds raised from individuals such as you, and from America’s corporations, go to top-quality programs around the country, while the Foundation works with other foundations to persuade them to join in.

The Foundation supports the spread of promising new approaches to new locations; the expansion of high-quality programs to serve more individuals and employers; and improvement in program management. Eligible programs include job training and placement and small business assistance, and may serve persons with any recognized form of physical or mental impairment.

A distinguished Board of Trustees, chaired by Senator Bob Dole of Kansas, is assisted by a Technical Advisory Committee of experts in employment and economic opportunity. Operating costs are kept to a modest level through the donation of needed goods and services and the use of volunteers. The Foundation plans to develop an endowment over a period of several years to cover operating costs.

Millions of disabled Americans are unemployed but willing and able to work; they want greater economic independence and an opportunity to contribute

Over 8% of the U.S. Gross National Product (GNP) goes out in government and private programs and payments to disabled persons who would rather be working and contributing to society

A growing number of employers recognize the value of these workers and the need to provide opportunities

There are public and private agencies able to provide training, to help find and create jobs, to help disabled individuals start new small businesses

And YOU can help provide the resources to make it all happen — to help disabled Americans take their place as productive employees, businessowners and taxpayers

A GREAT AMERICAN RESOURCE

[black and white photograph of a seated man looking at a glowing screen which is magnifying the printed material on a table in front of him.]

Disabled persons are an increasing percentage of Americans, due to improvements in medical care and the aging of our population. While medical research will help prevent many disabling conditions, more children are surviving with disabilities, and accidents result in many more disabilities later in life. As life spans increase, age-related disabilities will increase as well.

If disabled persons are to live with dignity, and if the economy is to bear the burden of those who cannot work, more disabled persons must have a chance to become full participants in the economy. Government and private agencies and employers are doing their part, but more resources are needed. Individual and corporate dollars can provide the momentum, and other foundations can be persuaded to join us.

BE A PART OF HISTORY

What can you do?
• A direct gift can be put to work immediately. An investment of $1,000 in certain programs can result in program cost savings and increased tax revenues of $10,000 or more.
• Trusts and bequests will be gratefully accepted; these can provide benefits to the Foundation for years to come, with significant tax advantages to the donor. Consult your tax advisor.
• Gifts of stock or other appreciated property have similar long-term benefits; you may be able to deduct the appreciated value of the property donated. Consult your tax advisor.
• You may also be able to donate a life insurance policy or an annuity to the Foundation, again with potential tax benefits.
• The Foundation will provide suitable recognition for memorial gifts and may accept donations with certain restrictions attached. Please contact us prior to making such gifts.
• If you choose to take part, the Foundation would also appreciate your help as a volunteer, by suggesting names of others who might be interested in contributing and by speaking to them on the Foundation's behalf.
