Parents Helping Parents (PHP) provides a lifeline to parents of children with disabilities in Santa Clara County and beyond by offering ongoing individualized support that honors individual experiences and backgrounds, enabling families to overcome barriers and confidently advocate for their children’s disabilities. PHP provides information based on an individual’s disability, diagnosis or concern, age, and/or grade in school, and mobilizes and trains parents on how to lobby and advocate.

The organization has an operating budget for FY25/26 of $3.2M, a staff of 33, and a 15-member Board. FY26 projected sources of income are roughly 52% from government grants, 23% from corporations and foundations, 16% from individuals and 9% from the annual gala. For the past decade PHP has grown steadily at about $250K a year and has a goal of continuing at that pace.

The Sr. Director of Development will oversee a team of three and report to the Executive Director, a dynamic and compassionate leader, who has stewarded an organization that believes “together we can change the world, one person at a time, one family at a time, one community at a time.” Most of PHP’s staff and Board members are parents of a child with disabilities, and it’s this level of empathy that has created a community where all individuals are valued, respected, and included.
