One Vision

What One Vision does

One Vision is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Clear Lake, Iowa, providing person-centered disability support services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities across North and Central Iowa. Founded in 1971, the organization employs approximately 344 full and part-time staff and supports around 223 individuals through its core programs: Home and Community Based Services, Community Employment Services, Community Integration, Spiritual Life, and the Smart Living housing model — a technology-first accessible housing concept designed to enable greater independence for residents.

The organization operates a diversified portfolio of wholly-owned branch facilities alongside its core disability services. Glen Oaks Community is a 55+ active-adult housing community offering TimberCrest Apartments for rent and The Terraces Townhomes for purchase, sharing amenities including an indoor pool, fitness center, and gymnasium with Boyer Pool & Wellness Center, a community-accessible fitness and aquatic facility with annual memberships ranging from $170 (Junior) to $420 (Family). Thrift Services comprises three retail stores (Clear Lake founded 1973, Fort Dodge 2012, and Waterloo) plus Thrift Solutions, a global online recycling business that aggregates unsold merchandise from One Vision and 70+ partner thrift stores across Iowa and southern Minnesota for international resale.

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: donations and recurring giving programs (Best Life Builder monthly program at $25/$50/$100 tiers, Legacy Circle planned gifts, event sponsorships), thrift retail and global resale, wellness center memberships and facility rentals, and senior living rents and townhome sales. The organization reaches supporters through social media, a quarterly One Voice digital newsletter, annual reports, signature community events (OV Days of Giving, Human Foosball Tournament, Fort Dodge Color Run), and an active volunteer program. Leadership includes CEO Mark Dodd, with Mario VanDijk serving as Chief Financial Officer.
