The AbleGamers Foundation serves more than 100,000 people through our database each year, tens of thousands through our awareness programs, and as many individual grants as our funding permits. We serve as the voice of more than 33 million people with disabilities that use gaming for rehabilitation, quality-of-life improvement, and recreational distraction from terminal illnesses or trauma. Our staff lives with a range of disabilities; this allows us a unique connection with our members because we provide them with personal experience and knowledge of the challenges of living with a disability.
