1. Funds generated by the organization
   With these funds, NDAD can help relieve the financial burden of:
   • disability-related equipment and supplies
   • travel expenses to distant medical facilities
   • attendant care
   The use of this type of funding is restricted by NDAD guidelines.

2. Funds raised by community projects
   NDAD may act as custodian of any funds raised through community projects. These funds areraised on behalf of a person by members of his or her community. Because these funds are raised by the community and not NDAD, they can be used to help theperson with the disability with any appropriate expense within IRS guidelines.
   Money from community fund raising can be used for the same type of expenses as those generated by NDAD,as well as things like hospital, clinic or doctor bills or other disability related costs.
   NDAD's involvement in community fund drives allows all donors who itemize to deduct their contributions fortax purposes. NDAD can provide consulting information on fund raising and also pay bills and expenses out the fund as directed by the fund chairperson.

Information and Referral
One of NDAD's goals is to assist people in receiving help through other agencies whenever possible. Often theperson either is not aware of available services or does not know how to gain access to them.
