What Our Ability Alliance Inc does
Mission
Our goal is to raise awareness throughout society and promote understanding and integration within education and employment for people with disabilities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Disability etiquette and sensitivity is a program designed to enable individuals at all levels of an organization become more effective and empathetic communicators and problem solvers. We do this through sharing our own experiences; and more importantly, building on the experiences of those in the audience. They have more power than they know. We just help reveal it. We help people to see opportunities are inside obstacles, see the world differently, see themselves differently, understand that success comes in all forms, communicate more openly, communicate with confidence, think about problem solving, prioritize with a different perspective, get "out of the box and become an ally.
$35,368 spent100% of program spendingNys department of labor grant-our ability alliance will coordinate interested parties in the community, reach out to disability service providers, message to the community types of jobs available and prescreen candidates as we present them to you. Then, we build training programs for individuals with disabilities online to be prepared for interview/employment process. Our goal would be to have multiple people in each training. Companies will discuss job function, jobs available and benefits. Our ability will discuss advantages to be working in the community. Program will identify 300 people with disabilities for interview/employment.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $13k to $4k (−72%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
100% of OUR ABILITY ALLIANCE INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2021: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income rose $3k → $15k.
1 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 20% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of OUR ABILITY ALLIANCE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
OUR ABILITY ALLIANCE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 73% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
93% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund OUR ABILITY ALLIANCE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 93% · 2018 100% · 2019 89% · 2021 100% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of OUR ABILITY ALLIANCE INC's grant income comes from New York funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $15k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
