Personalized introductions to real people.
Our matchmakers meet you, learn about you, and then introduce you to people you might be compatible with. The next step is always yours. Designed specifically for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, our process focuses on compatibility, communication styles, relationship goals, and support needs.
A different kind of matchmaking.
Today, there are lots of dating apps built specifically for the IDD population. These apps focus on profiles, swipes, and algorithms. We focus on people. Every member has a unique story, communication style, support system, and relationship goals.
Our introductions services are old school, where a real matchmaker takes time to understand those factors before making thoughtful, intentional introductions to others looking for the same thing you're looking for.
Why relationship skills matter first.
The strongest relationships are built on communication, confidence, emotional awareness, boundaries, and self-advocacy. That's why many members participate in Virtual Workshops while pursuing matchmaking.
Relationship education and matchmaking work best together.
How matchmaking works.
Intake form
Tell us about yourself — including what kind of relationship you're looking for (e.g., friendships, dating).
Meet your matchmaker
Share your interests, goals, communications style, and support preferences on a Zoom call.
Careful review
Your matchmaker carefully reviews our database for people we think you might be compatible with. We consider all the things we learned about you when deciding which profiles to send your way.
Profile delivered
When we meet someone we think you might be compatible with, we send both of you each other's profile page with contact info. You decide whose information we share: yours, your caregiver's, or both. If you include a caregiver in the process, we'll always include them when we communicate with you.
You decide
Choose whether you want to get to know that person. If you do, you reach out to them directly. There is no pressure and you can always say no.
You choose how much support you want.
Some members prefer to participate on their own. Others want a caregiver or support person involved. Both choices are completely okay, and you can change your mind at any time.
- Invite a caregiver to join your virtual intake meeting
- Choose whether your caregiver receives matches and updates
- Add caregiver summary emails with Essentials or Concierge
- Decide what information is shared and with whom
We only include a caregiver when you ask us to. Your privacy and autonomy come first, and we'll always honor the boundaries you set.

Real relationships. Real people.
Love, 19, and Kailyn, 21, live about an hour apart in California. After a video call and a first date at Starbucks — peppermint hot cocoa and a shared brownie — sparks flew, and they've been building a relationship ever since.
Nicolas and Stella met at our first speed dating event—and instantly clicked. Now they FaceTime every night, share a love of music, and dream of a future together.
After joining Find Love Safely, Nastia met Dominick, and their connection quickly grew into a meaningful relationship. Today, the couple are building a life together at Community Homestead, where Dom chose to move to be closer to Nastia and the community she loves.
