    Borealis Philanthropy

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $100,000

    This application lays out Borealis Philanthropy’s request for a one-year grant of $100,000 from Chicago Community Trust to support the Disability Inclusion Fund (DIF). As the DIF moves into our third-year of grantmaking, this funding will support the continued expansion of the overlooked and under-resourced disability justice movement. The DIF strengthens the disability justice movement by resourcing disability-led organizations committed to intersectional movement strategies, providing specific grantee capacity building supports, and building upon disability inclusive practices through our participatory grantmaking model. The CCT’s continued support will enable the Disability Inclusion Fund to further its impact in the movement and demonstrate the necessary importance of disability inclusion to broader justice commitments across philanthropy. This support is particularly important now, as the disabled community navigates a world where COVID still looms large, impacting people’s physical, emotional, and mental health, as well as exacerbating already existing financial and social inequalities.
