Get Involved
There are many ways to help Donka by giving of your time, talent, or treasure. It costs approximately to nearly $11,000 per student for training and job placement services and Donka needs to raise about $400,000 per year to provide their instruction at no cost or at a very low cost.
Over 100,000 persons with disabilities live in Donka’s service area of DuPage and Kane counties. A critical goal in serving their disadvantaged population – especially young adults who face decades of future care – is to help them achieve as much independence as possible, as having a physical or visual disability directly impacts their likelihood of gaining employment and accessing educational, social and career opportunities most of us take for granted.
Donka is the only AT computer training program available in our service area. Please consider making a donation today and help Donka reach and train even more people with disabilities. To inquire about a memorial gift, planned giving, or a bequest, contact Donka’s Executive Director, Leanne Stavenger-Vos.
We Rely on Our Volunteers and Donors!

Volunteer Testimonials
Volunteers help us to keep our computer labs open evenings and weekends for our Donka students.
