🌟 Exciting News for Our Community! 🌟
We’re thrilled to share that Peer Power is now fully integrated with Zeffy—a platform that truly understands the heart of nonprofits. 💙

What makes Zeffy so incredible? It waives all transaction fees from major credit cards and popular payment apps like Cash App and Venmo. That means every dollar you give goes directly to supporting our mission—no hidden costs, no deductions, just pure impact.

From now on, all of our payments and donations will be handled through Zeffy, ensuring that your generosity makes the biggest difference possible.

When you make a donation, you’ll see an optional tip at checkout for Zeffy, our payment platform. This tip goes to Zeffy, not our organization, and helps them continue providing their fantastic fee-free service to nonprofits like ours. While it’s not mandatory, if you can spare an extra dollar or two, it’s truly appreciated! If you’d prefer to skip the tip, simply select “Other” and enter $0 (or even $1).

To all of our donors—thank you! Your support means the world to us and helps us keep building a stronger, more inclusive community. Every contribution counts, and we couldn’t do this without you.

📢 Important Update: Peer Power Self-Advocacy Summit

We want to share an important update with our community.

We have recently been informed that the Trust will no longer be providing funding support for conferences outside of the conference they sponsor and are fully responsible for. As a result, the Peer Power Self-Advocacy Summit is no longer receiving Trust funding.

Because of this change, Peer Power and our Board of Directors have made the difficult but necessary decision to implement a $200 event fee per person for all summit participants, including self-advocates and Direct Support Professionals (DSPs). This fee helps cover essential costs such as lodging, meals, transportation, accessibility supports, materials, and staffing.

💡 Why Saving Now Matters
With registration opening in the next 1–2 months, this is a great time to begin planning and setting aside small amounts toward the event fee. Even saving $25–$50 per week can make the cost more manageable by the time registration begins. We encourage individuals, families, and support teams to start budgeting early so everyone who wants to attend has the opportunity to participate fully.

We understand that cost matters. While this fee is significantly lower than most conferences across the nation, we also recognize that $200 may still create a hardship for some individuals. If this event fee would be a hardship for you or someone you support, please let us know by mid-to-late January so we can better understand the impact.

Our commitment remains the same: creating a summit designed by and for people with disabilities—focused on leadership, self-advocacy, and community.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of self-advocates
