The de Moya Foundation Celebrates 10 Years of Championing Employment for Young Adults with Unique Abilities

 

Who We Are

The de Moya Foundation was founded in 2015 as a labor of love and passion to make a difference in the lives of children and young adults with special needs. For ten years, The de Moya Foundation has worked to build a more inclusive workforce. It has successfully bridged the gap between capable young adults seeking employment and businesses ready to embrace a dedicated talent pool. 

The foundation's impact extends beyond job placements, it fosters confidence, stability, and a sense of belonging for individuals who are often overlooked in the workforce. From corporate offices to hospital halls, these employees are proving every day that ability is stronger than disability. While we have made some great strides, The de Moya Foundation still has a lot to accomplish. We need your support to continue finding and maintaining employment for individuals with unique abilities. We currently have over 150 young adults employed and 80 individuals eagerly waiting for an opportunity. An opportunity to not only make an income but to feel part of a team, to realize their capability and start a brand new journey. 

      

Were you aware that 13% of individuals in Florida have an Intellectual and Developmental Disability?

That means someone in your close circle has friends or family with these unique abilities — they are the silent majority. This is why it is vital for us to change society’s perspective and help harvest opportunities for individuals with Autism, Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Fragile X, Traumatic Brain Injury and Intellectual disability. Everyone deserves the chance to feel included, to show their talents and create financial freedom. We work tirelessly to bring out the best in these individuals by encouraging them to showcase their unique abilities. Then, and only then, can they be happy being themselves.

Why Donate?

On Give Miami Day, we ask for your continued support to help us expand our reach and impact even more lives. Your generous donation will allow us to build new partnerships with employers, provide further support for our employees, and empower more young adults to thrive in the workforce. Join us in our mission to change perceptions and open doors. Together, we can show the world what's possible when we believe in the potential of all young adults.

When you give, we take another step. Another step toward hiring young adults with unique abilities in the workplace. Together as a Miami community we have come a long way and we thank you for believing in their dreams and in ours.
