What else powers Skip's List — how is it supported?

First of all, all services used by PWD are free. No fine print, no cost-per-word, no gotchas. However, Skip's List requires financial support to pay the staff and pay for monthly operating expenses such as the ISP [internet service provider]. In addition, the first year's cost of establishing Skip's List - all the designing and programming expenses - came from a personal loan from Skip. It became time to reimburse him. While we intend to keep Skip's List free of obnoxious banners and pop ups, you might notice those subtle ads along the right side of some pages. Those ads are paid by vendors of disability-related goods and services. There is also the Directory of Goods and Services. Not only do these areas bring us income, they also provide a service to our consumers to answer the routine question, "Where do I find a particular good or service?"

What public service does Skip's List provide?

Our vision is that one day, all people with disabilities and impairments will be able to communicate freely without limitations due to differences in political orientation, disability type, communication style, or geography. Access to the Internet is a primary means of communication, education, and employment. Studies have shown that a chief impediment to employment for many PWD is a lack of accessible computer equipment. Therefore, to assist many PWD to realize access to the Internet as well as greater employment opportunities, Skip's List will establish a foundation to donate a significant portion of income to acquire accessible computer equipment for PWD.
