Creative Spirit is a 501c nonprofit designed to ensure equal employment opportunities for people who are neurodivergent, connecting them with fair-wage positions at inclusive, forward-thinking companies. Since our founding in 2017, we’ve utilized our coaching, mentoring, and job placement services to resolve the 85% unemployment rate for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Thus far, we’ve had an almost 100% retention rate for all the candidates we’ve placed.

At the same time, we’re more than just a job placement service. Through our comprehensive HireDifferent Academy training program, we collaborate with a wide range of companies and business leaders to help them reevaluate their hiring practices and become neuroinclusive. Our goal is to change the status quo for job seekers who are neurodivergent, placing at least 1 million candidates in fair-wage jobs by 2030 as part of our #HireDifferent agenda.

Every gift, any size, matters to our organization.

Creative Spirit is a certified non-profit corporation EIN 82-0859192, and was named one of Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas organizations 2021.
