What PRIDE Industries does

PRIDE Industries is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social enterprise founded in 1966 and headquartered in Roseville, California. It operates two integrated service lines that fund its mission of creating employment for people with disabilities: Facilities Management Services (operations and maintenance, custodial, grounds and landscaping, engineering and environmental, general contracting, critical and renewable energy) and Manufacturing and Logistics Services (medical device, aerospace and defense, and electronics manufacturing, plus supply chain, packaging, and fulfillment). A third line, Employment Services, runs Career Hubs, the I AM ABLE Employment Helpline, the annual I AM ABLE Disability Job Fair, the YES! youth program, and the Military Skills Translator. The company employs approximately 3,964 people across 15+ U.S. states, of whom about 1,949 have disabilities; it is a source agency in the federal AbilityOne Program through SourceAmerica.

Revenue is generated primarily through contracts with federal agencies and military installations (U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines, Space Force, Coast Guard, Social Security Administration, Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, Department of the Treasury, USDA), commercial services to enterprises such as HP Inc., VSP Vision, Amazon, Eskaton, and Ingram Micro, plus county/state/federal workforce-program funding (WIOA, Department of Rehabilitation, regional centers, Ticket to Work), philanthropic grants, and donations to the affiliated Michael Ziegler PRIDE Industries Foundation. Pricing is quote-based on multi-year custom contracts; AbilityOne participation provides preferential access to federal procurement opportunities requiring employees with disabilities. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales for federal and commercial business services with community-led outreach (helpline, job fairs, peer-specialist referrals) for employment-services participants.

Operationally, the organization uses industry-standard operations, maintenance, supply-chain, and manufacturing-execution systems; technology differentiation is concentrated in the I AM ABLE brand ecosystem and dedicated programs (helpline, military skills translator, YES!) rather than proprietary software. Governing oversight is by a Board of Directors under California jurisdiction, with Craig Levra appointed President and CEO in March 2026 succeeding Interim CEO Bob Olsen.
