Since 1993

Helping people of all abilities become independent by providing solutions
of financial needs and empowering them to achieve financial goals.

Our Mission

Many Iowans cannot afford the basics they need to live independently.
We’re on a mission to change that. Here’s how:

We provide flexible
funding options:

  • Low-interest loans
  • Co-financing
  • A variety of loan programs 

We empower Iowans to
achieve their financial goals:

  • Financial coaching
  • Credit coaching
  • Resource counselling
  • Benefits planning

Thanks to your support, Able Up Iowa has lent out over half a million dollars across the state of Iowa in the past 5 years.

“Financial security is harder for people with disabilities because we have greater expenses. I’m aiming to give a gift to donors that reminds them why their donation matters. They have helped people – people like me.”
