Employment is a pathway to increased income and empowerment, and improved quality of life and well-being; but for people with disabilities, job opportunities are limited, and employment supports often inadequate. This exploratory study analyzes the role of the nonprofit sector as a site for inclusive employment. Using data gathered from documents and in-depth interviews with nonprofit organizational staff, this study identifies the benefits that can accrue—to individuals, organizations, and communities—when agencies in the nonprofit sector employ persons with disabilities. The presence of employees with disabilities in the workplace increased sensitivity and awareness among all workers, conferred value on disability through an explicit recognition of the particularity of varying lived embodiments, and clarified the notion of dependence.Avoir un emploi assure un revenu et une autonomisation accrus ainsi qu’une meilleure qualité de vie et un sentiment de mieux-être. Mais pour les personnes handicapées, les possibilités d’emploi sont limitées et le soutien à l’emploi est souvent inadéquat. Cette étude exploratoire analyse le rôle que joue le secteur à but non lucratif pour assurer un milieu de travail inclusif. Au moyen de données provenant de documents et d’entrevues en profondeur avec le personnel d’organismes à but non lucratif, cette étude identifie les avantages qui se présentent—pour les particuliers, les organisations et les communautés—quand les agences dans le secteur à but non lucratif emploient des personnes ayant des handicaps. À ce titre, la présence dans le milieu de travail d’employés handicapés augmente la conscientisation et la sensibilisation de tous les employés, accorde de la valeur aux handicaps par une reconnaissance explicite de ce que les personnes handicapées peuvent contribuer, et remet en cause la notion de dépendance
