I Can Too Foundation

I CAN TOO Foundation is an international charity organization dedicated to supporting children with special needs. It was established in 2006 in Bulgaria as a private initiative by Nelly Radeva. In 2012 I CAN TOO was registered in the USA as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. I CAN TOO raises awareness of the dire situation of children with special needs and their families. I CAN TOO advocates for more community, individual, and organizational involvement as an effective way of improving the lives of those children. The organisation uses arts and media events to promote and advocate for children with special needs rights, raise funds and invest in support therapeutic centers for those children and their families. I CAN TOO's activities are supported by in-kind donations from all areas of business and entertainment, private entities and individuals, and by the non-monetary partnership and support of the government. The main idea of I CAN TOO is that everyone can join to support and contribute by whatever they can do best. Following this principle, the organization opened two therapeutic Centers for children with special needs in Bulgaria - one for disabled children in the city of Sofia, and the second one – I CAN TOO Center for Autistic Children in the city of Plovdiv. I CAN TOO supports more than 650 children with special needs and their families across Bulgaria and two existing therapeutic centers for those children in the city of Sofia - by directing donors and volunteers to them. Over 400 international celebrities have become faces of I CAN TOO and have been spreading awareness of its mission and operations worldwide. I CAN TOO's goal in the USA is to expand out activities and work together with other US and international organizations to improve the quality of life of more children and help their families through diagnostic and care facilities, patient education and raising awareness.
