FIFNC is a private not-for-profit NC corporation whose governing board consists of a majority of people with developmental disabilities or their family members. FIFNC was incorporated in 2000 and obtained its 501(c)3 status in 2003.
People with disabilities and/or their families are the experts regarding their own goals and dreams, and should be respected as such by everyone.
People with disabilities and/or their families should have the same rights, responsibilities, and opportunities to contribute and participate as all other residents of the community. Communities have a responsibility to help make this a reality.
All community members should work together to provide an effective support base for people with disabilities and/or their families.
Providers should be responsive to the direction given them by the people they serve.
