WITH Foundation has served as a disability and healthcare funder for more than 17 years. Through our Funder Education Initiative, WITH is committed to engage our peers in philanthropy, especially health/healthcare funders, to bring the lens of disability to their grantmaking. WITH believes that funders’ missions are more effectively addressed when disability is intentionally included.
We encourage funders to reach out to us to have peer-to-peer conversations about the steps you can undertake to incorporate disability into your portfolios and/or organizational structure. To start the conversation, please email FunderEdu@withfoundation.org.
To learn more about some of our Funder Education efforts, please see the following:
- WITH/California Community Foundation/Southern California Grantmakers’ Forum on Disability, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
- NCG Session: “Nothing About Us Without Us”: People with Disabilities, Equity, and Inclusion in Philanthropy
- Disability Advocacy & Philanthropy Twitter Chat

Please note: The Ford Foundation coordinates and maintains this forum. In an effort to create a candid space for learning, access to the forum is limited to funders. You must request to join and may receive a follow-up question about your affiliation if it cannot determine from your email.
