ECFC’s statement on the Trump administration freeze of federal grants and the State of Maryland’s disability program budget cuts:
We’ve gotten lots of worried questions the last couple of days and we don’t have a lot of answers…but we do have one…and opinions.
These directives, laying out these administration’s list of priorities,make it clear where the disabled and their families lie on that list. These cuts and freezes will disproportionately affect smaller nonprofits who provide critical direct services to those in need.
ECFC will not abandon our mission, our families, or our community and will continue providing services to those who need us.
We will continue supporting other nonprofits in their work and we will continue working together with our community to make our region #kinder, more #equitable, #inclusive, and #accessible.

Your contribution will help us to continue helping families in need.
Helping Families In NeedSince 2009, ECFC has helped thousands of families across Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia...Not only do we help families who are struggling to get the adaptive equipment that their child needs and families searching for a way to upcycle their used equipment, we also help create a community where care givers can meet, learn new skills, and share information.
