Our History
Founded in 1967 as a nonprofit organization, BuildAbility has supported thousands of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. For more than five decades, over 9,000 people have accessed our programs, gaining greater independence and enhancing their quality of life. Our services are designed to empower individuals, meet diverse needs, and foster community inclusion.
Our Mission
BuildAbility shapes support around each person so that people with disabilities can make meaningful progress towards the goals they define and the lives they choose.
Our Vision
A world where disability is recognized as a part on someone's life, not the whole of who they are.
You can be a part of creating even more opportunities by donating to Build Ability. Your gift will:
- Purchase technological resources for skill-building
- Replenish creative art supplies that foster self-expression and confidence
- Nourish our community garden that teaches sustainability and teamwork
- Create more meaningful employment opportunities
As our community grows, so do the possibilities for individuals with disabilities to dream without limits and turn those dreams into reality.
Join us in building a more inclusive future.
