Rooted in Generosity. Growing Independence.

At A New Leaf, transformation takes time, care, and deep roots. The Oak Society honors those who make it possible—visionary donors who contribute $10,000 or more annually, helping individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities thrive in their communities.

Why "The Oak Society"?

Like the oak tree, these leaders stand strong, grow quietly, and offer lasting support. Their gifts ensure adults with I/DD have access to housing, employment, and life-enriching programs that promote independence and dignity.

 Who Are Oak Society Members?

Some members have been part of this community for years without knowing it. If you’ve given $10,000 or more to A New Leaf this year—or cumulatively over the past 12 months—you’re already part of the Oak Society.
