Intersectional grantmaking discussion today!

What gives me faith that ADD International's new 10 year strategy will succeed? This photo from our strategy launch today sums it all up. It shows disability activists Run Vireak and Zenna Akuwa. The key to our strategy is that disability activists like Vireak and Zenna will be taking all the funding decisions. As Zenna told the participants in our launch about the participatory grant making she had been involved with: "It's more than Nothing about us without us. We own this!" It also shows Callum Aitken of People's Postcode Lottery. He spoke about how powerful and effective they have found long-term unrestricted funding to be and how it builds trust. Other funders like Ford Foundation are also backing our strategy. And funders are starting to work together to persuade other funders to provide fair and flexible funding. Together this is how we will achieve Mtiririko or Flow. #transformation #shiftthepower #disabilityjustice #flexiblefundingworks

🌟 Did you know that July is National Disability Pride Month? 🌟 It's a time to celebrate the diverse abilities and talents of individuals with disabilities, and to advocate for a more inclusive society. Let's use this month to raise awareness, promote acceptance, and celebrate the achievements of people with disabilities. Together, we can work towards a more equal and accessible world for all. #DisabilityPrideMonth #InclusionMatters #enddomesticviolence #endsexualviolence #reintegration #hivaidsawareness #housingfirst #communityresource #nonprofit #newjersey #njac_helps
