LIFE
Living Independence for Everyone
Give a little & change a lot.
Let’s Work Together!!
The Gold Seal of Transparency acknowledges our efforts in providing clear, accurate, and accessible information to our stakeholders, including funders, nonprofit members, and the communities we serve.
The nonprofit Candid learns where nonprofits spend their funds, where it comes from, where it goes and why it matters.
The Foundation Directory helps nonprofits find funders to support their work. Funders look to GuideStar to verify and research nonprofits that are aligned with their priorities.
Charity Navigator has given LIFE it’s highest award, a 4-star rating. This earned us a “great” assessment with a score of 91%.
It means that LIFE “exceeds or meets best practices and industry standards across almost all areas. Likely to be a highly-effective charity,” according to the organization.
We are honored to be recognized for our work in the community, which couldn’t happen without our funders, staff, consumers and board members
