Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

THE RYAN SHAZIER FUND FOR SPINAL REHABILITATION AIMS TO GIVE THOSE WITH SPINAL CORD INJURIES AND THEIR CAREGIVERS THE SUPPORT, RESOURCES AND FUNDING THEY NEED TO LIVE INDEPENDENT AND MEANINGFUL LIVES.

Activities or mission (Part I)

THE RYAN SHAZIER FUND FOR SPINAL REHABILITATION IS DEDICATED TO INCREASING THE POSSIBILITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SPINAL CORD INJURIES TO ACHIEVE INDEPENDENCE AND IMPROVE THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THEIR LIFE.

  • Withheld by Nonprofiteer: this text may name a private individual.

    Expenses $459,703 · Grants $343,046

  • PROGRAMS FOR THE SCI SUPPORT SYSTEM (CAREGIVERS, FRIENDS, AND FAMILY MEMBERS):THE RYAN SHAZIER FUND UNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF NOT ONLY PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL WITH THE SCI BUT ALSO FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO MAKE UP THEIR SUPPORT SYSTEM. WE WORK TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES WHERE CAREGIVERS, FRIENDS, AND FAMILY MEMBERS CAN BUILD THEIR OWN RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS CONNECTED TO SCI. ONE PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES THIS IS THE RYAN SHAZIER FUND WOODLAND FAMILY RETREAT WEEKENDS. DURING THE SPRING AND FALL WE CAN ACCOMMODATE 6 INDIVIDUALS WITH SCI AND THEIR SUPPORT SYSTEM, THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND A FREE WEEKEND AWAY AT A COMPLETELY ACCESSIBLE CAMP FACILITY. THE PARTICIPANTS SPEND TIME WITH EACH OTHER FORMING BONDS AND HAVING FUN. WEEKEND ACTIVITIES INCLUDE SWIMMING, CRAFTS, ZIPLINE, BONFIRES, AND SPECIAL SESSIONS FOR BOTH CAREGIVERS AND INDIVIDUALS WITH SCI. FOR THOSE WHO ARE UNABLE TO JOIN OUR WOODLANDS RETREATS WE HOST IN-PERSON EVENTS WHERE FAMILIES CAN BE TOGETHER AND MEET OTHERS IN THE SCI COMMUNITY. WE HOSTED OUR FIRST SCI FUNFEST WITH OVER 150 PARTICIPANTS. THERE WAS FOOD, GAMES, ACTIVITIES, AND LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE NEW FRIENDS AND RECONNECT WITH OLD ONES. IN ADDITION TO THE SCI FUNFEST, WE HOSTED AN ADAPTIVE CLIMBING EVENT AND OUTINGS TO THE PIRATES GAME AT PNC PARK AND A TRIP TO PPG ARENA TO WATCH THE HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS. IN PERSON OUTINGS SUPPORT BOTH THE MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH OF THE INDIVIDUALS WITH SCI AND THEIR SUPPORT SYSTEM. OFTEN THESE PEOPLE ARE PUTTING SO MUCH OF THEIR TIME AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES TOWARDS RECOVERY AND NEW AND UNEXPECTED EXPENSES THAT THEY NEGLECT THEIR OWN PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELL-BEING. THE FUND CONTINUED TO EXPAND ITS SHALIEVE STORY PROGRAM TO INCLUDE STORIES FROM CAREGIVERS AS WELL. A CAREGIVER STORY IS POSTED ON THE WEBSITE AND VIA SOCIAL MEDIA EACH MONTH IN ADDITION TO THE SHALIEVE STORY.

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.
