Ways To Give

Donor Advised Funds (DAFs)

If you have a Donor Advised Fund, you can recommend a grant to Adaptive Sports Partners at any time. DAF giving is simple, flexible, and often allows donors to support the causes they care about in a more strategic way. These gifts help us plan for program growth, maintain adaptive equipment, and expand inclusive recreation opportunities throughout the year.

Recurring Giving

Becoming a monthly donor is one of the most impactful ways to support our athletes. Recurring gifts provide steady, reliable funding that helps us cover ongoing needs like equipment maintenance, scholarships, transportation, and school based adaptive programs. Even a small monthly contribution makes a big difference over time and helps ensure that everyone can participate.

jaypeak@adaptivesportspartners.org

 I’m incredibly excited to be joining the Adaptive Sports Partners team as the Jay Peak program manager! I’m an NEK native and recently moved back to Vermont from Boston after working for an adaptive exercise program in the Spaulding Rehab network. I had a very gratifying three years working in the hospital setting and am now thrilled for the change of scenery and an opportunity to share my passion for skiing and riding! In my free time, I love running, reading fantasy novels, and spending time with my black lab Dougal. Very much looking forward to getting to know all of you and fingers crossed the snowfall continues as it has this past week!
