Q: Who Runs The Organization?
A: EP BUILD is a 501-C3, Tax Exempt non-profit organization that is run by an executive board which meets monthly.
Q: What Services Does Your Organization Offer?
A: We offer educational training which we call “people first training” we advocate for the inclusion of people living with a difference. The training also helps to change a persons perspective on disability and we help them to see the person before the disability.
Q: Does Your Organization Collaborate With Other Area Nonprofits?
A: At present we are in conversations with other nonprofits we are working toward finding how we can compliment each other in service to the community.
Q:How Much of My Donation Goes to Operations Versus Actual Programs?
A: We do not have any building or operational costs, we are a virtual office and all donations contribute toward the development and execution of our trainings. We want to give the audiences a first hand experience into the world of disability.
Q: How Successful has the Nonprofit Been in Achieving its Mission?
A: We feel that we are successful, we recently celebrated 12 years of service to the community.
Q: Are There Any Risks or Challenges the Nonprofit Faces?
A: Challenges can include delays in trainings because of bureaucratic hiccups in contract/service agreements that delay trainings. We are still a very small nonprofit and getting our services known to the community is still a challenge because we are all volunteers that have day jobs. We do have a passion for our trainings we truly believe in the value of our trainings. Our availability and time including schedules are at times a challenge to coordinate training events.
Q: Will I Be Informed About the Impact of Donations?
A: You will be informed on how your donation was used if requested. We do offer social media blast and acknowledgement of your generosity.
Q: What are the responsibilities of the Excecutive Board?
A: The executive board meets monthly and we are dedicated to keep business current and address the needs of a business who has requested one of our trainings.

Disability is not a word to work around, but a reality to design for
Disabled is not a bad word.
But in the workplace, you’d think it was…We hesitate. We soften it. We replace it with something that feels more “comfortable.”
That’s bias on autopilot.
New Airbus seating concept could completely change the way wheelchair users fly
Aerospace Global News shares the design of the new Airbus seating concept could completely change the way wheelchair users fly – allowing them to remain in their own wheelchairs during flights.
Disability is NOT a discount code for cheap work.
Why is it that an expert is accepted & trusted but a disabled expert is questioned & used for inspiration?
Way too often, people with disabilities are looked at:
– like a free consultant
– like a discounted service
– like a inspiring wall poster
Mandatory disability pay gap reporting is coming, but will it actually drive change?
Hidden disabilities and disclosure in the workplace add a significant layer of complexity, because staff choosing to keep their disability a secret means the data is not only false, but also potentially misleading.
Why 1 in 4 of your employees might be hiding their true selves.
The findings from our 2026 Disability at Work Survey Report are a warning sign for every leader.
The data reveals that while inclusion is a common talking point, the reality is one of systemic walls
A reminder for everyone that learns in their own way, and at their own speed.
Getting clear on your access needs isn’t “a lot.” Silencing them is.
Autism parenting doesn’t come with days off.
