Education

PFW works to educate our members and the community about disability rights and what is possible when people with disabilities are given opportunity and the support they need. 

02

Community Building

No one can do it alone. We all need each other. People First Wisconsin brings people with and without disabilities to build welcoming communities.

Advocacy

People First Wisconsin is a non-partisan organization. We believe that our leaders need to hear from people with disabilities about their lived experiences, so that they can make informed decisions. We put complex information into plain language so our members understand policies that impact their lives and support them to reach out to leaders at the local, state, and federal levels of government. We also support our members to find solutions to problems they experience in their lives. 

Our Thanks!

Thank you to our supporters! People First Wisconsin relies mostly on grants and donations for financial support and the efforts of our members, advisors, and allies to carry out our mission. We thank all of you for your efforts to help people with disabilities lead full lives in the community.

Cindy Bentley, Executive Director
