Other Resources
We are not a large corporation with a high administrative overhead, in fact we have no administrative costs. All work is volunteer, and oftentimes the materials we provide are funded from our own pockets or donated to us by others. The “R” Word Campaign is a grass roots effort by those interested in bringing awareness to everyone that the use of the word “retard” to mean something bad or stupid is offensive to people with disabilities and those who know and love them.
With that spirit in mind we provide the following materials free of charge for use in your communities.

Donations
If you would like to donate money to us, our pledge to you is that we will put all donations to use promoting the “r” Word Campaign by making materials available free of charge to schools and community groups. Every donation, no matter how small, is vitally important to helping us support local school and community education efforts.
If you would like to donate in other ways, we are open to your suggestions. Please contact us with your ideas or if you would like to help us develop materials. We would like to have volunteers to create and maintain a MySpace page and a FaceBook page to help in spreading the word.
Here are our long term goals;
- Develop education materials for free distribution to individuals, schools and communities.
- Create and maintain a network of advocates in each state available for presentations in schools and communities.
- Develop a program guide for presentations
- Promote a poster contest for school age children at the state level to reaffirm the classroom presentations.
- Promote an awareness day or event, nationally or at state level.
Here is where your money will go;
A $1 donation buys 10 ‘r’ Word Campaign lapel stickers that will be handed out to schools and conferences.
A $1 donation buys 2 ‘r’ Word Campaign buttons that will be handed out to schools and conferences.
A $1 donation buys 2 ‘r’ Word Campaign bumper stickers that will be handed out to schools and conferences.
