Nonprofits serving people with disabilities

 Promising nonprofit organizations led by or closely connected to the communities they aim to serve often face challenges in terms of recognition and funding, despite their track record of community impact.

Almost half
of nonprofit leaders whose organizations primarily serve people with disabilities reported that no foundations provided new funding to support this community in 2020.1

Almost two-thirds of foundation leaders say that they provide
no grant dollars
to organizations serving people with disabilities or that only a small percentage of their grant dollars is directed to these organizations.2
