Week of Giving

🎉 The RILEY Project's Week of Giving

Help Us Raise $50,000 for Neurodivergent Youth, Educators & Community Belonging

At The RILEY Project, we believe in the power of story to change systems. Our Week of Giving is your chance to invest in a future where neurodivergent students are empowered, educators are equipped, and communities are built around belonging, not barriers.

Your gift will directly support:

🌱 Youth Support Groups – safe spaces where neurodivergent students connect, grow, and share their stories.

📣 Summer Internship Program – a paid opportunity for neurodivergent students to create content, build leadership skills, and shape the national conversation on learning differences.

🎓 Educator Outreach & Professional Development – equipping future teachers with lived-experience stories and inclusive teaching tools rooted in Universal Design for Learning and trauma-informed care.

🏡 Gather San Mateo – our long-term vision for a community space centered on equity, collaboration, and connection for nonprofits, youth, and families.
