Fostering Healthy, Inclusive, and Diverse Communities

We founded Claritas Creative Foundation because we understand the importance of making a difference—sometimes that means championing system change campaigns that reach across the country, sometimes that means interacting hands-on with our community to meet immediate needs. We focus on fostering healthy, inclusive, diverse communities.

  • Inclusion Initiatives for People with Developmental Disabilities

    People with developmental disabilities are valuable members of our communities. The truth, however, is that we haven’t yet realized a fully inclusive society. We’re working to support people with disabilities and their families to fulfill that genuine inclusion.

  • Supporting Working Mothers During the Pandemic
