Jacob's Ladder provides intensive educational services for children ages 2-18 with developmental delays like autism and Down syndrome. It seeks a $40,000 grant from Charity Guild to increase staff salaries and benefits in order to reduce high turnover and improve consistency for the children. Jacob's Ladder serves approximately 50 students per week at its center and over 1,000 students total, using a specialized learning model. The grant funds would specifically go towards increasing wages by $25,000, healthcare reimbursements by $8,000, and staff development by $7,000.
