Who We Are
The Shriver Group is a small, mission-driven consultancy based in Sarasota, Florida. We focus on one thing: helping adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) build skills, earn wages, and belong at work and in the community.
We design, launch, and support inclusive initiatives like Inclusion Revolution, a nonprofit championing integrated employment, and Inclusion Works, a consulting program that helps employers and communities hire and support exceptional talent with IDD.
Along the way, we draw on decades of experience in storytelling, design, hospitality, and nonprofit leadership to help good ideas grow into sustainable, impactful programs.
Meet Beaver Shriver
Beaver has spent his life creating exceptional experiences and opportunities for others, starting when he was 9 years old as a timer for Special Olympics swim meets.
Over the years, he has started and overseen operations at a wide range of ventures, from retail shops and a fly-fishing guide service to an ice hockey school and a real-estate rehabilitation company for low-income families. Since 1996, he has published more than 100 high-end magazines and upscale travel brochures, learning how to market great experiences to demanding audiences.
Inspired by his family’s legacy of service to others, Beaver now concentrates his efforts on creating job opportunities, inclusion, and visibility for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities through Inclusion Revolution, Inclusion Works, Big Magic Studios, Shriver Education for the Arts, Special Olympics, Best Buddies, Miracle League, and other nonprofits that champion people with IDD.
