General Operating Fund
Contributing to the General Operating Fund allows Bay Area Rehabilitation Center to utilize your contribution in a way that meets the greatest current need of the Center. Our United Way funding has been reduced over the last few years as needs for other programs, as well as the United Way service area, has expanded. We have also encountered reductions in insurance reimbursements and government funding sources.
Your contributions to the General Operating Fund allow the Center to counter these reductions without a disruption or reduction in services provided to clients.

Creating Opportunities Scholarship Fund:
The Opportunity Center Program provides adults with disabilities site-based services, day habilitation, vocational training, Home and Community Services, Texas Home Living, and job placement assistance. Participants are provided the tools necessary to become productive individuals allowing them a sense of empowerment and helping them to succeed socially in the community.
Did you know that while federal funding is available for participants to attend the Opportunity Center Program, the wait to be approved for this funding can range from 10-15 years? Without federal funding available many individuals in need of these services are unable to attend because families cannot afford the "self pay" option to attend.
Your contribution of $450 can provide a month of vocational training for an adult with disabilities. Make sure and designate your contribution to the Creating Opportunities Scholarship Fund. Undesignated contributions will be placed in the General Operating Fund.
Outpatient Therapy Financial Assistance Program:
A contribution to the Outpatient Therapy Financial Assistance Program can assist those who are unable to afford services to receive the therapy services they require. Even with insurance, many cannot afford the co-payments to receive outpatient therapy services. For instance, a family with a child requiring therapy may require weeks, months, or even years of therapy services and cannot afford the co-payments to access their insurance.
