See All Major Disability Organizations
The following disability organizations address a broad range of issues. Some focus on advocacy, others on housing, while others either directly provide services for disabled populations or identify appropriate resources and services for people with disabilities. Some may include employment for people with disabilities as part of their missions, while still others may provide grants. All have in common one, however, one overriding mission: improving the lives of those who live with disability.
