At the Orange Effect Foundation, we are dedicated to empowering children with speech disorders by providing funding for speech therapy and communication devices. Since our last update in August 2023, we’ve expanded our board from 9 to 16 and increased our fundraising efforts, now hosting four annual events. Despite these advancements, the growing number of applications highlights the need for more participation, sponsorship, and donations.
The Impact
Our grants have reached over 432 children across 39 states, providing more than 115 speech devices and over 7,800 hours of speech therapy.
Our Team
Founded by Joe and Pam Pulizzi, their personal experiences with communication disorders in their own family fueled their commitment to this cause. Our diverse board, led by Kristin Erbacher, brings expertise from various fields including speech pathology, assistive technology, education, and finance.
