Empowering Possibility.
Inspiring Lives.
Join VersAbility’s community of major donors creating opportunities for people with disabilities to live full, meaningful lives. Your generosity does more than provide support—it opens doors to hope, independence and a future filled with possibility.
What Is an Ability Angel?
Ability Angels are major donors who pledge $10,000 or more to advance VersAbility’s mission of empowering people with disabilities through education, training and employment.
Many fulfill their pledges over several years, forming a community of changemakers dedicated to creating a world where people of all abilities can thrive.
