Every adult deserves the opportunity to build healthy relationships.

Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities often receive education about employment, independent living, and safety—but very few have access to relationship education designed specifically for the way they learn.

This campaign raises funds to build accessible relationship education that helps more adults learn how to build friendships, communicate confidently, understand consent and boundaries, recognize unhealthy situations, and safely pursue meaningful relationships. Instead of focusing on curriculum development, the campaign focuses on what that curriculum makes possible.

Confidence. Connection. Belonging. Love.

Imagine wanting what nearly every adult wants.

A best friend. A first date. Someone to laugh with. Someone who understands you. Now imagine no one ever teaching you how to build those relationships safely. For millions of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, that's reality. Many are left navigating friendship and dating without accessible relationship education designed for the way they learn.

Find Love Safely believes everyone deserves the opportunity to experience meaningful relationships—not by chance, but with guidance, education, and support.

That's why we're building something bigger than a workshop. We're building relationship education that reaches every learner. Because relationships are for everyone.

Why We're Raising Funds

Today's workshops are already changing lives. Nearly 200 adults across the country participate in Find Love Safely's live relationship education. But one teaching style cannot serve every learner.

Some participants need:

Simpler language
Visual supports
Step-by-step learning
Role-playing
Shorter lessons
Caregiver reinforcement
More repetition

Your support will help create relationship education that is more accessible, more inclusive, and more eﬀective for adults across a wider range of learning styles and support needs.

Today Find Love Safely provides:

Nearly 200 members nationwide
24 live workshops every year
Up to 42 participants in every workshop
More than 1,000 participant learning experiences annually
Nearly 4,800 caregiver education touchpoints
More than 5,800 learning and support experiences every year
Every workshop is recorded so participants can continue learning at their own pace.

Why This Matters

Healthy relationships don't happen by accident. They are learned. Practiced. Supported.

Every lesson we build helps someone gain confidence, understand healthy boundaries, communicate more eﬀectively, and experience the dignity of meaningful human connection.

Together, we can ensure that relationship education is accessible to every adult—regardless of how they learn.

Because...

Relationships Are For Everyone.
