Borealis Philanthropy has announced more than $4 million in grants through its Disability Inclusion Fund (DIF) to seed and expand the capacity of the disability justice movement and amplify the powerful grassroots leaders at its forefront.

Grants were awarded to 58 organizations and organizers working to promote a world with access to self-determination, human dignity, civic participation, and joy for all people. This year's cohort includes organizations across the country engaging in a broad range of work—from affordable housing to voting rights, equitable access to assistive technologies, and supporting formerly incarcerated deaf and/or disabled people—and working at the intersections of social justice movements. This year, the fund also welcomed organizations that serve, support, and uplift BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) storytellers, performers, cultural workers, and writers.

“Our movement leaders have demonstrated time and again: this is a moment to respond with greater boldness and clarity about our disabled truths—that collective access, sustainability, cross-movement solidarity, and other disability justice principles will continue to guide all of us towards liberation,” said DIF director Sandy Ho.
