Watch: The Find With Dennis Directory for Businesses and Service Providers (2:28)
For Businesses & Organizations

Your business can be part of every safe return.

A missing child walks past your storefront. A confused grandfather wanders into your lobby. When DENNIS is part of your community, your people know who to look for, and the families who need you know where to find you.

Why it matters to your business

These families are already your customers and your neighbors.

Three ways to take part

Be a lookout. Be found. Be a sponsor.

Be a lookout

Watch your door

Alerts go only to individually screened volunteers, never to a business. Employees who have each completed screening as volunteers can choose Stationary Spotter on an alert near work, so the entrance, the parking lot, and the pool are watched in the first minutes. Your location can also serve as a safe meeting point for searchers.

Be found

The DENNIS directory

Families use the directory inside the DENNIS app to find businesses that understand their lives: therapists, dentists, hair salons, swim schools, attorneys, photographers, restaurants, and more.

Be a sponsor

Keep the search free

Sponsors pay for volunteer screening and help unlock search access in their county. County sponsors are recognized on the site, on social media, and on volunteer search shirts.

How the directory works

Reach families with context, not just a phone number.

The directory is not only for disability services. It is for every business that supports the mission and helps with everyday life, for the people we care for and for our families.

  1. Create your provider account at app.findwithdennis.com/vendors and describe your business, services, and keywords.
  2. Choose your service area: a county, a region, a whole state, or nationwide. Licensed providers are listed only where they are licensed.
  3. Choose your placement: Standard, Featured, or Premium.
  4. Add a spectrum badge if you have experience with neurodivergent people. Families with more complex needs use it to find a better fit.

Standard

Your listing card in search results across your service area.

Featured

The top of results, a highlighted card, and a full profile page.

Premium

Everything in Featured, plus first place in your category and a subject matter expert contributor spot in DENNIS+ when it launches.

Self-certified badge

Check the box at signup to say you have working experience with neurodivergent individuals.

Verified badge

Upload the license for your specialty. It is reviewed before the badge appears.

Your listing, your terms

A directory listing is not an endorsement or recommendation by Find With Dennis. Families reach you directly.

Nonprofits and community organizations

Bring your members into the safety net.

Share and recruit

Host a volunteer sign-up at your next meeting, service day, or event. Every neighbor who joins helps unlock search in your county sooner.

Programs and camps

Day programs, camps, and respite services can enroll participants with consent and start an alert the moment someone is missing.

Grants and partnerships

Find With Dennis can serve as the technology partner in grant-funded safety programs. We are a technology company, not a charity.

What it looks like

The volunteer next door who made the difference.

Example
  1. 11:05 AM. A DENNIS alert goes out for Eli, 6, last seen near the shopping center in a red T-shirt. His flyer says he loves water and will not answer to his name.
  2. 11:06 AM. The manager of a swim school two doors down is a screened volunteer. She taps Stationary Spotter and watches the entrance and the pool deck herself.
  3. 11:12 AM. Eli walks in, drawn by the pool. She keeps him calm, gives him a towel to hold, and reports the sighting.
  4. 11:15 AM. His mom is there. A week later, she finds the swim school in the DENNIS directory and signs both kids up for lessons.
