who we are
Supporting Independence Since 1974
Society's Assets is a Center for Independent Living (CIL) — a nonprofit, nonresidential organization dedicated to helping people with disabilities live fully and independently in the communities of their choice. We believe every person, regardless of disability type, deserves the tools, support, and opportunity to direct their own life. Last year alone, we served over 3,000 people across five Wisconsin counties.

Our Mission
To ensure the rights of all persons with disabilities to live and function independently in the community of their choice, by supporting individuals' efforts to become fully integrated into community life.
More about us
Who we are
A Community Organization
We are a nonprofit, nonresidential organization governed by a volunteer board — the majority of whom are people with disabilities. We are of, by, and for the disability community.
Staff Who Understand
Many of our staff members are individuals with disabilities themselves. We don’t just serve the disability community — we are part of it.
Funded to Serve You
We are funded through a combination of federal, state, and county grants, fees for services, and donations — so we can focus on what matters most: you.
