The Able Trust believes that when people with disabilities want to work, they should. The Trust supports individuals non-profit vocational rehabilitation programs throughout Florida with fund-raising, grant making and public awareness of disability issues. Created by the Florida Legislature in 1990 (FS 413.615), the Florida Endowment Foundation for Vocational Rehabilitation, parent organization of The Able Trust, is 501(c)(3) non-profit public/private partnership with a goal of assisting Floridians with disabilities in achieving employment. The Trust receives its funding from a perpetual endowment, grants, gifts and support from the public and corporate sectors.
Connie works at the St. Johns Knee and Joint Clinic in Palatka. The Arc Putnam received a grant for $44,144 to help individuals with severe disabilities with gaining community employment. |
Vocational rehabilitation is the focus of The Able Trust's programs and grants. For every dollar invested in vocational rehabilitation, thirteen to twenty-six dollars are infused into the economy. Making funds available to persons with disabilities helps not only them, but also local and state economies.
The Able Trust supports a diversity of projects, including on-the-job coaching, supported employment, job skills-training, job development, employer outreach, ADA facility compliance, skills evaluation and programs leading to employment. The positive impact of The Able Trust's grant awards has been felt by non-profit agencies serving people with various disabilities, community colleges and individuals with documented disabilities.
