The Inspiration Seal™
Why the Inspiration Seal Exists
Nearly one in four Americans lives with a disability.
Yet people with disabilities remain one of the most underutilized talent pools in the workforce. Despite decades of progress, employment gaps continue to limit opportunity—for individuals, businesses, and our economy.
We believe that can change.
Not through promises.
Not through awareness campaigns.
Through measurable action.
The Inspiration Foundation created the Inspiration Seal to recognize employers that are leading the way while helping more organizations join the movement.
Together, we can create workplaces where talent—not disability—defines opportunity.
More Than a Certification
The Inspiration Seal isn't simply something you earn
It's a partnership
Organizations that become Seal Members join a growing network of employers committed to learning, sharing best practices, measuring progress, and helping reshape employment for people with disabilities.
Our goal isn't to identify perfect organizations.
Our goal is to help organizations become even better.
