VersAbility Resources Receives $100,000 Grant from Truist Foundation to Advance Inclusive Workforce Development

VersAbility Resources is proud to announce it has received a $100,000 grant from Truist Foundation in support of its Future of Work initiative—a strategic program designed to expand employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities across southeastern Virginia. The three-year grant period, running from March 2025 through March 2028, will allow for long-term impact and program development.

The Future of Work initiative focuses on breaking down barriers to employment by providing personalized career support, reskilling and upskilling programs, and greater access to inclusive job training for people with disabilities.

“This generous investment from the Truist Foundation is a powerful catalyst for change,” said Kasia Grzelkowski, President and CEO of VersAbility. “It allows us to deliver personalized, high-quality workforce development services that not only prepare individuals with disabilities for meaningful employment but also connect employers to a diverse and capable talent pool. Together, we are creating a more inclusive future of work.”

“We’re proud to support VersAbility’s Future of Work initiative to advance workforce development in the Commonwealth,” said Thomas Ransom, Truist’s Virginia regional president. “Built to benefit both individuals and local business owners, the program is aligned with Truist’s purpose to inspire and build better lives and communities.”

VersAbility has been empowering individuals of all abilities for over 70 years through education, employment and advocacy programs and is very grateful for the support of Truist Foundation.
