Tampa nonprofit for children with disabilities closes doors

The board of directors for a Tampa-based nonprofit dedicated to advocating for children with developmental disabilities has voted to formally dissolve.

According to an announcement on its website, the group 21 & Change officially closed its doors Aug. 31. No further operations or programming will take place, and the organization’s website and social media accounts will only remain active for a limited time to share information about its closure, the statement says.

“This is a decision reached after careful consideration and with gratitude for the progress we’ve made and the community we’ve built,” the statement says. “Our purpose now is to honor the work we’ve done and to celebrate the families and partners who stood with us along the way.”
