The concept of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) has buzzed throughout the philanthropic sector for years. While many foundations have made some strides in addressing equity imbalances, many have overlooked people with disabilities with only about 3% of philanthropy dollars going to disability issues, according to the Disability Funder's Network. Whether your DEI strategies apply to employment practices, marketing, grantmaking initiatives or company culture, understanding disability as a valued identity is imperative to achieving diversity and power distribution that is truly representative of the human experience. This presentation will define accessibility, make the connection to DEI, outline why disability inclusion is a business imperative and not just the "right thing" to do, and provide individual solutions for anyone who wants to create more accessible practices.
