We’ll also discuss ways progressive philanthropy can harness its collective power to build long term support for transformational grassroots organizing, and pitfalls to avoid when co-conspiring for progressive change. #DisabilityInclusionFund presents on More Than a Toolkit: How Disability Justice Advances Equity for All & Black Disabled Liberation: A Story About Funding Cross-Movement Power — Philanthropy’s commitment to anti-abelism and racial equity is an opportunity to transform operations to reflect the movement priorities we invest in. The cross-sector partnership between Borealis Philanthropy’s Disability Inclusion Fund and the Presidents’ Council for Disability Inclusion in Philanthropy exemplifies this commitment as each organization makes shifts in our internal practices to align with disability justice. #CommunitiesTransformingPolicingFund co-sponsors Eroding the Power of Police Unions: All Day Institute with Funders for Justice.

Celebrating power and inclusion on this International Day of Persons with Disabilities ⭐️ By embracing diversity and breaking down barriers, The Foundation and its Grantee Partners are working each day to create a world where everyone's unique abilities shine. In 2019, The New York Women’s Foundation became a founding member of the Presidents’ Council on Disability Inclusion in Philanthropy and made a commitment to a continuous learning and implementation process that will advance systemic change within member foundations and serve as models for disability inclusion in the philanthropic sector. Along with other grantmaking organizations, The Foundation also signed the Disability Inclusion Pledge in 2021, which recognizes that uplifting disability is a key element required to achieve social justice, equity, and inclusion, and calls for accountability as philanthropic organizations clearly define their efforts in this critical area. This year, The Foundation continued this work with the release of a comprehensive report examining The State of Women and Girls with Disabilities in New York. This landscape analysis focused on existing and emerging disability justice and inclusion efforts at the intersections of gender and racial justice. 🔗 You can read the report at the link in our bio. 📸: Disabled And Here #InternationalDayofPersonswithDisabilities #IDPWD

Question - what is this: disabled people's is purple; gay/LGBTQ people's is pink and older people's is grey? Answer: it's the pound - it refers to the spending power of people within a certain group. Purple is used by campaigners, charities and the government to refer to disabled people's spending power and was adopted by Philip Connolly, comms manager at Disability Rights UK back in 2011. According to Purple Tuesday the spending power of disabled people and their household worldwide is estimated to be $1.8 trillion, but only 10% of businesses have a targeted strategy for this. Here's an interesting report into what disabled consumers choose to buy and why by the Business Disability Forum: https://bit.ly/47hqh3P As always, if there's anything we can help with, get in touch: 01394 387070 (don’t forget to leave a message if we don’t answer - we’ll always come back to you) or [email protected] . . #disabledspending #lqbtqi #inclusiveflag #disabledrights #spendingpower #householdspending #disabledconsumers #businessdisabilityforum #disabledbusinesses #disabilitysmart #daseastsuffolk #disabilitycharity
