The Able Trust, also known as the Florida Governor's Alliance for the Employment of Citizens with Disabilities, is a 501(c)(3) public-private partnership foundation established by the Florida legislature in 1990.

Its mission is to be the leader in providing Floridians with disabilities fair employment opportunities through fundraising, grant programs, public awareness and education. Since its establishment, The Able Trust has awarded over $19 million to individuals with disabilities and nonprofit agencies throughout Florida for employment-related purposes. Its programs have enabled approximately 2,000 Florida citizens with disabilities to enter the workforce each year.
