Our Auxiliary Board
Founded in the fall of 2006, the Auxiliary Board of Center for Independent Futures is comprised of a diverse group of enthusiastic, goal-oriented professionals with a passion for supporting individuals with disabilities. Our purpose is to inspire our members with a sense of contribution, achievement and fun by utilizing their time and talents to drive forward the mission of both the Auxiliary Board and that of the larger CIF organization.

Our Mission
Raise awareness and provide financial support for CIF in order to enable adults with disabilities to access the opportunities to live a full life in community.

Our Events
The Auxiliary Board sponsors SPARK, CIF’s annual spring fundraiser.
