AbilityOne logo

Goodwill increases job opportunities for people with disabilities by working with NISH, a nonprofit agency set up by the federal government to assist organizations like Goodwill in obtaining federal contracts.

NISH was established through the Javits-Wagner-O’Day Act (JWOD) which enables people who are blind or have other disabilities to work through local, community-based organizations to provide quality, on-time goods and services to the federal government. Goodwill has three AbilityOne/NISH contracts where more than 80% of employees have severe disabilities:

  • Bluegrass Army Depot (Richmond, KY)
  • Gene Snyder Courthouse (Louisville, KY)
  • Mazzoli Federal Building (Louisville, KY)
