With an annual budget of $10 million, our new US Disability Rights Program marks the next stage of a sustained commitment to the
#disability
community and our
#JourneytoInclusion
.
From 2018 to 2020, we've invested more than $50 million toward projects and organizations focused on disability and an additional $125 million to social justice organizations working toward
#disability
inclusion globally.
We're so grateful to the ~200 disability leaders who helped shape our new program on US disability rights focused on economic justice, building a diverse disability leadership pipeline, countering
#disability
stigma and strengthening disability rights and justice organizations.
