Disability Leadership, Influence and Place

The nation’s first civic leadership program designed specifically to connect people with disabilities to positions of influence and power on foundation boards, commissions, task forces, and grassroots leadership opportunities was a collaborative funder initiative. This initiative, now called Disability Lead, highlights how funders can ensure that voices of the most historically excluded are included at local tables of power and influence. Learn more from this place-based model how connections with the disability community are an essential component of making our foundations truly inclusive and supporting people who are disabled in positions of leadership is key to building equitable communities.
