Bear Givers Inc

Bear givers created the empowerment program to empower children with autism spectrum disorders and other learning disabilities,and teach them about giving and receiving. Bear givers donates teddy bears to schools serving children with special needs and the students decide who to give them away to. This enables them to experience the joy of giving to others they believe are in need of comfort. As these students are usually the recipients of charity,this program also provides them with an opportunity to give back. The empowerment program will be introduced to more schools and facilities in future years.

Bear givers introduced the empowerart program to enable children with autism related disorders and other learning disabilities to display and sell their artwork. Bear givers accomplished this by sponsoring art shows for schools serving children with special needs. These shows took place in a professional setting to allow the children to feel proud and empowered. Their creativity and talent was recognized, improving their self-esteem and sense of pride. This was furthered by the knowledge that 100% of the sale proceeds of their artwork went directly back to their school. Bear givers intends to sponsor more art shows for a greater number of schools and facilities in the future.

A new program was created to empower entrepreneurs by providing resources to those currently underserved, particularly women and later in life individuals starting a business. Bear givers offers them the freedom and opportunity to help achieve their goals.
