Mission Statement
StopGap Foundation aims to create a world where every person can access every space.
About This Cause
StopGap Foundation became an officially registered charity on October 21, 2013. The awareness raising initiative began in the fall of 2011 after recognizing a need for increased accessibility in our communities. StopGap serves a need for the removal of barriers in our built environment that prevent many people from accessing the spaces that they desire. Awareness about barriers in our communities is raised through the StopGap Community Ramp Project and School Program. Here are our values: Fun: change is much easier to accommodate when it's enjoyable, if we are not having fun then we are doing something wrong! Community: engaging groups of people in each community to help spread awareness, from volunteers helping build ramps to students speaking to local business owners about their stepped storefronts. Inclusion: recognizing everyone's abilities is key to developing barrier free solutions that work well for all. Empowerment: giving people the proper tools to make things happen on their own is an important part to reaching out and help facilitate the change that we would like to see in the world. Inspire: by celebrating the successful projects we've worked on in many different communities we hope other communities will open their doors to change.
