About Us

Friends of North Bay Regional Center is dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities in the tri-county area of Solano, Sonoma, and Napa. We exist to support the more than 8,000 infants, children, adults and their families also served by North Bay Regional Center in 
overcoming challenges associated with a developmental disability. 

These critical needs exists because our sister organization, the governmental funded North Bay Regional 
Center, is often prohibited from funding many supplemental services that are pivotal in meeting the 
needs of individuals diagnosed with autism, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and other intellectual disabilities.  Friends of North Bay Regional Center is dedicated to funding these necessary supports and services 
that assist those we serve to lead more independent and productive lives as valued members of their community.

We provide funding assistance for:

• SUPPORTIVE EDUCATION:  Allowing parents the opportunity to attend a conference to learn more about their child’s recent diagnosis, as well as develop supportive relationships with other families.
• SOCIAL-RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES:  Specialized summer camps as well as social skills training. 
• SUPPORTIVE LIVING:  Assistance for adults to move into their own homes or apartments including related purchases needed for their home.
• BRIDGING LIMITED HEALTH CARE BENEFITS:  Including funding for specialized dental care or mobility supports. 
• FAMILY EMERGENCIES:  Assistance for relocating families left homeless or other catastrophic events.

Friends of North Bay Regional Center is an all-volunteer community benefit organization; all donations go directly to support individuals with developmental disabilities.
