Crowdfunding without barriers.
Capital for the equipment, businesses, and advocacy that make the world work for people with disabilities.
From the wheelchair you need next month to the access ramp your barbershop has been waiting on for years — we are building the crowdfunding home for the work disabled people are doing. Capital pooled by neighbors. Released on milestones. Accountable in public.
Three steps. No mystery. Money in public view.
A proposal is filed.
You or your organization files a funding proposal: what the money is for, the milestones it will be released against, and who is accountable for each one.
The community contributes.
Neighbors, family, customers, mutual-aid networks — anyone can contribute. Contributions sit in escrow. Nothing moves until the proposal is fully funded.
Milestones release the funds.
Funds release in stages, against documented milestones. Every release is published. Every recipient reports back to the people who funded them. The accounting is the brand.
Two audiences. One platform.
Individuals & families
For the equipment, modifications, and support a person or family needs to live independently and fully.

Businesses & organizations
For the businesses and organizations that disabled people are building, expanding, and running.
- Disability-owned business launch and expansion.

Our access commitment is a feature, not an afterthought.

Honest about limits
We list what we have not yet solved. We invite you to tell us when something breaks.
The barriers are not in us.
The barriers are in the equipment that is priced out of reach, the insurance forms that say no, the bank that does not see a disabled business owner the same way it sees the rest of its borrowers. The capital we need is already moving — neighbors helping neighbors, families pooling for a wheelchair, mutual-aid funds raising for an accessible bathroom.
Abilities Funding is the home for that movement: visible, accountable, and built with us. We are starting now because the chapters and businesses and families we serve are already organized, already moving money hand to hand, and already deserving a platform that meets them where they are.
