The Open Doors Organization, founded in 2000, is a Chicago-based nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that people with disabilities have the same consumer opportunities as others. It seeks to empower the disability community while helping businesses access and serve the disability market through research, training, and guidance on inclusive marketing and accessibility compliance. The organization partners with both large corporations and smaller enterprises to advance market access for people with disabilities. Its activities span job placement, educational seminars, and diversity initiatives intended to raise quality of life for individuals with disabilities and broaden their participation in work and society. In the nonprofit sector, it positions itself as a conduit between the disability community and the business world, underpinned by social action and applied research. A recent development is a collaboration with Avianca to deliver programs on respectful handling of wheelchairs and assistive devices.
