make special efforts to find and recruit qualified people with disabilities for available jobs,

provide funding for adult residential centers, children’s hospitals, or service providers,

donate to non-profit organizations that employ numbers of people with disabilities,

include disabled-owned businesses on their approved vendor list,

participate in national Disability Mentoring Day,

be an active member of a local Business Leadership Network,

contribute to research efforts that seek cures for disabling conditions,

work with service providers, job coaches, and educational programs to make sure that teachers and trainers know what skills are necessary for available jobs, or

donate directly to the Disabilities At Work campaign according to a prescribed contributions requirement based on business size.

Businesses cannot self-nominate into the Disabilities At Work program, but must be recommended or endorsed by a service provider, government agency, Business Leadership Network, or non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the causes of the disability community. These organizations must first register, at no cost, as a Disabilities At Work Agency in order to be able to endorse businesses they know support people with disabilities.

Registered Agents must address certain basic criteria when endorsing a business, but Disabilities At Work will rely on the commitment and integrity of Registered Agencies to ensure that the businesses they endorse deserve the designation.

Registered Agencies can endorse businesses at www.DisabilitiesAtWork.org, and endorsed businesses can purchase plaques and other materials that feature the Disabilities At Work logo at the same site.
