    Are you a CFO, accountant or finance professional looking to make a meaningful impact? Or do you have a background in mental health and behavioral health? Disability Partnerships invites you to join our Board of Directors and help shape the future of programs that empower individuals with disabilities.

    About Us

    Disability Partnerships is a national 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals with disabilities. Our work spans adaptive fitness and wellness, education and scholarships, economic empowerment and financial literacy, and affordable accessible housing and adaptive equipment, and we are now building a dedicated mental health program. We collaborate with nonprofits, government agencies, businesses, and faith-based institutions to drive change in underserved communities.
