Help Accelerate DSANV’s Next Chapter of Growth and Impact
Your gift directly fuels this work: growing our education and wellness programs, expanding skills-building opportunities that support future career pathways, strengthening lifeline resources for families, and increasing meaningful community connections for all ages.
DSANV offers year-round educational programs, health and wellness opportunities, family support groups, and life skills training for all ages. Our signature events, including the DSANV Buddy Walk®, World Down Syndrome Day celebration, and Spring Picnic, bring people together and build community awareness and acceptance.
Thanks to the generosity of our valued supporters that allow us to provide this vast array of programs and services, every day families find a place of empowerment and community in DSANV.
Each person with Down syndrome brings unique gifts to the world—and with the right support, every individual can thrive, connect, and contribute to our communities in meaningful ways.
Since 1972, the Down Syndrome Association of Northern Virginia (DSANV) has walked alongside individuals with Down syndrome and their families to empower their potential and create a welcoming, inclusive community for all. What began as a small group of dedicated parents has grown into a trusted nonprofit serving more than 5,000 members across Northern Virginia.
As a nonprofit organization, DSANV relies on the generosity of local businesses, churches, and individuals who believe in a more inclusive world. Your support makes it possible for us to provide scholarships, host free community events, and expand programs that empower every individual we serve.
But we can’t do it alone.
