GIVE TODAY

Growing Together, Reaching Further.

Ability Tree initiatives are not only about providing direct support to the 1 in 5 families impacted by disability, but equipping communities and organizations to do the same. Click an initiative below to get involved.

"As a family that has been personally impacted by disability, I believe in how Ability Tree is helping the local church care for and include these families. Ability Tree has helped River Valley Church be better prepared to include people with disability in the life of our church. They know their bullseye, and it is to help the church make Jesus accessible for all!"

- Pastor Rob Ketterling, River Valley Church

"Ability Tree fills a need for our son to connect with others in a safe and spiritual environment."

- Parent of Arkansas Community Branch Member

"Growing up Adam heard his older siblings share the fun and fellowship they enjoyed at Christian sleep away camp. He observed the spiritual growth camp services had on them. It wasn't until he was able to attend Ability Camp that he had the same opportunity."

- Fiedler Family, Ability Camp PA
