Our 2026 Giving Partner

The Arya Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit that provides need-based adaptive equipment to children with special needs in the Greater St. Louis Region. 

The Arya Foundation was created with a mission to turn challenges into opportunities for children with special needs in the Greater St. Louis area. As a 100% volunteer-run non-profit, the organization provides need-based grants for adaptive equipment such as mobility, learning, and communication tools that many families otherwise could not afford. These resources help children gain greater independence, confidence, and access to everyday experiences at home, in school, and in their communities.

In addition to equipment support, the Arya Foundation leads community programs that promote inclusion and disability awareness while directly supporting families throughout the year. A strong emphasis on financial responsibility ensures that the vast majority of donations go straight toward helping children rather than administrative costs. Through both practical assistance and community engagement, the Foundation works to remove barriers and create brighter possibilities for the children and families it serves.
