Every day, we partner with local employers to unlock opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, creating workplaces that reflect the diverse strengths of our community. While public funding covers the basics, your donations help us go further—offering tech tools, advocacy experiences, employer outreach, and training scholarships that fuel confidence and career growth. Together, we can make sure every Kitsap County resident has the chance to contribute their talents and thrive.

We currently support 157 people with disabilities and 88 business in Kitsap County - we would love to have you be part of advancing inclusion in our community.

How Your Donation Makes an Impact:

1. Providing Access to Sophisticated Technology

Many of our clients could benefit from advanced technology that enhances their ability to communicate, work, and engage with their community. Your donation could help provide customized tech resources such as adaptive software, communication devices, or specialized equipment tailored to individual needs, ensuring every client has the tools they need to succeed.

2. Funding Opportunities for Conferences and Advocacy

Advocacy and continued learning are vital for personal and professional growth. Donations can provide opportunities for clients to attend conferences, workshops, and advocacy events that they might not otherwise be able to afford. These experiences help them build networks, gain confidence, and become strong self-advocates in their communities.

3. Offering Scholarships for Training and Education

Investing in education is a powerful way to empower individuals. Your support can help create scholarships for clients to pursue further training, certifications, or education that can open new doors for career advancement and personal growth. These scholarships enable clients to gain skills that align with their career aspirations and interests.

4. Supporting Individuals Facing Barriers to Access

Not all individuals with disabilities have access to county-funded services, often due to citizenship status or limited resources. Your donations allow us to extend our reach and support these individuals, offering them employment coaching, job placement services, and community integration opportunities that might not be available through traditional funding channels.

5. Compensating Clients for Their Expertise

We recognize the invaluable insights that come from lived experiences. With your support, we can fairly compensate clients who participate in training our staff, speak at workshops, and engage in community outreach. This not only acknowledges their expertise but also empowers them to build additional skills and confidence.

Be Part of Transformative Change

By donating to Trillium Employment Services, you are helping to create a world where everyone, regardless of ability or circumstance, has the opportunity to thrive. Your intentional support helps us provide unique opportunities, build inclusive communities, and promote meaningful employment for all.

Make a donation today and be a catalyst for change. Together, we can make a lasting impact!

Needs

Donations through the Kitsap Great Give help fill critical gaps that public funding does not cover. These funds support individualized job development, employer outreach and education, transportation and technology supports, and flexible resources that allow us to respond quickly to client needs as they arise.

Community support also helps us reach people who want to work but are not yet connected to services, face language or documentation barriers, or need additional preparation before entering employment. These needs are real, time-sensitive, and often invisible in traditional funding models.

Local giving allows Trillium to remain responsive, innovative, and rooted in Kitsap County—ensuring more people can access meaningful work and more employers have the support they need to build inclusive teams.
