NTI does not charge any fees to people with disabilities. We receive funding from state vocational rehabilitation agencies and payments under Social Security's Ticket to Work program. Foundations that have supported our work include The AT&T, Fidelity, Mott and Robert Wood Johnson Foundations. We've received 15 years of support from the Rehabilitation Services Administration and support from the Department of Labor.
