THE JOSHUA TREE PROJECT

Being there isn't the same as being included.

The Joshua Tree Project puts accessible technology into the hands of people with disabilities, and into the venues where they gather, so no one has to choose between showing up and being part of it.

FOR SUPPORTERS

Want to be part of the beginning?

A gift funds a device and the moment of connection that comes with it. We're new enough that you'd know exactly whose life it changed, not just a number in a report.

Founded by Colette & Josh out of frustration: technology can make a space accessible, but it can't make someone feel included when they're present yet alone.

The Joshua Tree Project exists to fight that loneliness, helping people be included, seen, and understood.

THE PROBLEM WE'RE FIGHTING

Accessible technology already exists. Getting it into people's hands is the hard part.

Working-age Americans with disabilities already spend a large share of their income on the tools they need, and even then, most still go without something. Meanwhile, some of the newest assistive technology is more affordable than people expect.

$1,560
median cost of a single prescription hearing aid; most people need two
$599
starting price of commercial smart glasses that show real-time captions
$5,341
average yearly out-of-pocket cost for a working-age adult with a disability
67%
still report going without something they need, despite that spending

WHAT WE PROVIDE

Three ways we close the gap

Hearing aids

Clear sound changes what a day looks like: conversations, music, being part of a room instead of watching it from outside. We help people get devices that fit their life and connect to the phones and TVs they already use.
