Overview

Mission

The Jones Adaptive Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization designed to bridge the gap between mobility and accessibility needs and unmet insurance coverage and patient financial resources. It is our goal to improve quality of life in our patients with disabilities, who do not have the funds to purchase equipment that insurance does not cover. This is done by providing that equipment at no cost, including delivery and installation, for increased independence and safety within their home. Jones Adaptive Foundation is primarily funded through charitable contributions from Jones Adaptive Mobility, its employees, and partners. The Jones Adaptive Foundation was founded in 2021 and is governed by a Board comprised of owners of Jones Adaptive Mobility.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, Jones Adaptive Foundation provided a lap tray and footbox for a client of Jones Adaptive Mobility who needed it added to his wheelchair but his insurance denied these parts and his family was unable to pay for them. We also provided a scooter to a lady who needed one medically but did not have the insurance nor the funds to be able to pay for this herself.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
