We know, and the data shows, that people with disabilities are far less likely to be employed than workers without disabilities. And, depending on a person’s type of disability, especially people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, the unemployment rate can be as high as 80%.
We also know that diverse workforces with a multitude of perspectives and experiences support improved cultures and productivity.
Job fairs and other opportunities to support employment of people with disabilities are important but do not offer long-term, sustainable solutions to the problem of the under and unemployment of people with disabilities. The NPW Disabilities Roundtable Advisory Committee has learned of an incredible resource through Cornell University that will support goals of inclusion of people with disabilities in the workforce.
At the December 9th meeting, we will discuss this resource and an in-person event with a speaker from the Yang-Tan Institute (YTI) and the Northeast ADA Center, to be held on March 10th, designed to dispel myths and share vital information to advance inclusion goals.

Please join Nonprofit Westchester as We Welcome The Mother Cabrini Health Foundation for an Information Session on their 2023 Programs and Target Communities
Tuesday, December 13th at 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM Virtual | This event is free
The Mother Cabrini Health Foundation is one of the largest foundations in the United States and the largest foundation focused exclusively on New York State.
Their Mission: “We provide grants to improve the health and wellbeing of vulnerable New Yorkers, bolster the health outcomes of diverse communities, eliminate barriers to care, and bridge gaps in health services.
We seek to promote, sponsor, and support activities, programs, and initiatives that enhance access to affordable quality healthcare and healthcare-related services and address the unmet healthcare and healthcare-related needs of communities across New York State. This includes the social determinants of health, consistent with the ethical principles, tenets, and teachings of the Roman Catholic faith. Our Foundation will exist in perpetuity, helping generations of New Yorkers regardless of faith.”
In its first three years, beginning in 2019, the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation awarded nearly 1,700 grants, totaling nearly $470 million, to nonprofits, community-based organizations, and healthcare and social services providers across New York State to address gaps in care and serve vulnerable New Yorkers.
Its mission has never been more important. The pandemic has not only laid bare the health disparities that the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation was created to help address, but the concurrent crisis of systemic racial inequity has underscored the need to ensure all New Yorkers have access to healthcare and improved quality of life.
