Explore a Grant Partnership

We deeply appreciate partnering with foundations, governments, and corporations that are values-aligned and want to move money in support of gender equality, climate justice, freedom from violence, access to justice, inclusive education, indigenous rights, and other human rights issues—which are all intersectional with disability rights. We always appreciate general operating support so that our team can allocate funds where they are most needed. And, we also are grateful for project-specific money that is aligned with our planned activities. We are deeply committed to being transparent with our donors and appreciate your trust in our participatory, movement-accountable approach.
