Outdoor Ability Foundation
At the Outdoor Ability Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, our mission is to empower disabled children aged 8 to 19 by providing grants for the purchase of adaptive equipment. This equipment not only enables them to explore and enjoy the great outdoors but also supports their participation in activities such as hunting and fishing.

Our JourneyGrayson was born with Spina Bifida in 1999. As you can see from the pictures, he has not allowed it to slow him down very much.
He's been on many adventures that include hunting, fishing, water and snow skiing, ice hockey, hiking/camping with his Boy Scout Troop, and wheelchair basketball |
(the team he played with won the National Championship for their division in 2013).
He absolutely loves the outdoors more than anything. That comes with a few challenges when you have a disability. Grayson and I have enjoyed many outdoor experiences together and want to help other families do the same.
Our challenge in the past has been having the adapted "tools" to get where we want, when we want it for the activity. We know that other families/individuals face the same challenges and have limited funds available to purchase adaptive equipment. That is why we created Outdoor Ability Foundation 501 (c) 3.
We provide grants to purchase adaptive equipment like crossbow cocking devices, portable hunting blinds, fishing equipment, skiing equipment, etc. for those families, individuals, and groups needing this equipment to provide outdoor experiences for the disabled.
Grayson and I have enjoyed outdoor adventures for years but are just beginning our journey as Outdoor Ability Foundation to help others. Help us spread the word by sharing us on Facebook.
Some of the Equipment Includes
Shooting Sticks | Hunting Blinds | Fishing Equipment | Track Chair | Bow Hunting Equipment
