Consumer Investment Fund allows the Council to invest resources in people with disabilities and family members to enable them to attend and participate in events that reflect the “community inclusion” mission of the Council. The Council expects a return on its investment in the form of your increased knowledge about issues and a commitment, from you and others who attended, to share information with others, and to participate in community activities that will contribute to the independence, productivity, integration and inclusion of people with disabilities.
