Mission and programs · 2025
Mission
The specific purpose of the organization is to provide wheelchairs and related mobility devices for children and adults in need of assistance, both domestically and internationally.
-
2025 was an inspiring year of accomplishment for Chair the Love, providing mobility, freedom, and dignity to thousands of people around the world. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters and our ongoing partnership with the Wheelchair Foundation, Chair the Love provided 4,200 children and adults with the life changing gift of a free wheelchair. Each wheelchair was hand delivered and individually fitted by volunteers, ensuring that every recipient received the mobility solution best suited to their needs. These deliveries took place across 13 countries Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Belize, Nicaragua, Jamaica, the United States, the Philippines, Nepal, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Ukraine spanning five continents: North America, South America, Asia, Africa, and Europe. The distribution of vital wheelchairs in war-torn Ukraine was made possible through our partnership with AdventHealth Global Missions. The impact of this work extends far beyond each individual. A wheelchair not only transforms the daily life of the recipient, but also provides relief and new opportunities for caregivers, strengthens families, and uplifts entire communities. We are especially grateful for the dollar for dollar matching funds provided through the Wheelchair Foundation. Because of this generous support, we were able to double the number of lives changed in 2025 multiplying hope, independence, and possibility for thousands of people.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
