What Two of Us does

Gompers is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1949 and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, providing a comprehensive suite of programs and services for individuals with disabilities across the Phoenix metro area. Core programs include Day Training for Adults (DTA) at two Phoenix-area sites, Employment Services across four tracks (Individual Supported Employment, Transition to Employment, Group Supported Employment, Center Based Employment), In-Home Services (respite, habilitation, attendant care), and an accessible Transportation fleet that moves approximately 350 individuals daily between home, facilities, volunteer sites, and job sites. The organization also operates Business Solutions, a commercial arm offering assembly, packaging, document, and janitorial services to business clients, including a wholly-owned social enterprise called Tandem Document Professionals for document imaging and destruction. Underlying technology is limited to assistive technology integration for members and GPS-based fleet tracking for transportation logistics, with an interactive training lab supporting the Transition to Employment program.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid nonprofit model combining three streams: (1) government-funded day training, employment, in-home, and transportation programs delivered in partnership with Arizona Vocational Rehabilitation and Arizona DES; (2) charitable donations, with Arizona residents eligible for a Qualifying Charitable Organization tax credit (up to $470 individual / $938 couple filing jointly); and (3) commercial revenue from Business Solutions contracts with local, national, and international companies. Operations span three physical locations in Phoenix, Glendale, and Peoria, and members collectively contribute over 7,000 volunteer hours annually to local nonprofits. The organization holds GuideStar Gold Seal of Transparency (2021), Title VI and ADA compliance certifications, and is governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors chaired by Payton LaCivita. Mark Botterbusch serves as Executive Director.
