What NDI does

NDI is the National Disability Institute, a non-profit organization founded in 2006 and headquartered in Washington, DC. The organization provides financial education, asset growth, and financial stability services to people with disabilities across the United States, positioning itself as a national resource for a population historically underserved by mainstream financial literacy and wealth-building programs.

The organization operates with a small staff of 11-50 employees under the leadership of Executive Director Thomas Foley. Its service model centers on financial education curricula, asset-building tools, and policy advocacy aimed at improving economic outcomes for the disability community, including through mechanisms such as ABLE accounts and other disability-specific financial instruments. NDI's programmatic reach is supported by grants and partnerships with federal and non-profit entities, including the U.S. Small Business Administration and Share Our Strength.

NDI's business model is that of a typical mission-driven non-profit: revenue is generated through a mix of government grants, foundation funding, and institutional partnerships rather than commercial sales or fees. No pricing model or fee-for-service revenue stream is disclosed in the input. The organization relies on its Washington, DC base and national programmatic network to deliver services to beneficiaries in the disability community. Note: the input also contains scraped content describing an unrelated "NDI (Network Device Interface)" video-over-IP technology standard with partnerships involving MAXHUB and Microsoft; this content is treated as a data-source mismatch and is not used to describe National Disability Institute.
