Get involved as a trust or foundation

Charitable trusts and foundations play a vital role in transforming the lives of the some of the world’s most marginalised people. If you would like to give as part of a charitable trust or grant making foundation, we would love to help you find a project that meets your charitable aims.

Funding from trusts and foundations

Charitable trusts and foundations are vital to our mission to achieve disability inclusion for all. Grants – especially regular or multi-year grants – help us to deliver quality, sustainable programmes. And they create long-term change for people with disabilities living in some of the world’s poorest places.

Why work together?

Working together allows us to deliver impactful programmes that change lives.

It means we drive forward systemic change so that communities can flourish.

It give space to innovate and pilot new approaches and technologies.

And it helps us advocate for the rights of people with disabilities at local, national and international level.

Together, we can transform lives, strengthen communities and build a more inclusive world for everyone, everywhere.
