Mission and Vision
Support for Families of Children with Disabilities (SFCD) is a parent-run San Francisco-based nonprofit organization founded in 1982. We support families of children with any kind of disability or special health care need as they face challenges.
Our Vision
Families of children with disabilities will have the information, resources and support they need to make informed choices for their children.
Our Mission
The purpose of Support for Families is to ensure that families of children with any kind of disability or special health care need, and the providers who serve them, have the knowledge and support to make informed choices that enhance children’s development and well-being. We promote partnership with families, professionals and the community at large, because it is through partnership that we create a community where our children can flourish.
Most of our staff members, volunteers, and board members are family members of children with disabilities.
