he Disability Rights Fund and Disability Rights Advocacy Fund are grantmaking collaboratives that support organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs) around the world to build diverse movements, ensure inclusive development agendas, and achieve equal rights and opportunity for all.
Small Grants support growth of a broader and more diverse disability movement to advance the CRPD and the SDGs at local levels. While we welcome applications from any eligible OPDs, we especially encourage new applicants to apply for a Small Grant, as well as grassroots (rural), emergent (newly established), and/or marginalized groups (such as women and girls with disabilities, persons with psychosocial disabilities, persons with albinism, Deafblind persons, etc).
Mid-Level and National Coalition Grants support advocacy for more inclusive laws, policies, and programs. Because of the importance of joint advocacy at national and sub-national levels, only coalitions of three or more organizations will be funded. Applicant organizations leading coalitions must be OPDs, while partners can be either OPDs or other civil society organizations active in the promotion of human rights. Coalitions led by umbrella organizations or federations may include member OPDs as partners, but must also include at least one outside organization to be eligible.
- Small Grants range from USD 10,000–30,000 per year (up to USD 60,000 for 2-year grants);
- Mid-Level Coalition Grants range from USD 30,000–50,000 per year (up to USD 100,000 for 2-year grants);
- National Coalition Grants range from USD 40,000–60,000 per year (up to USD 120,000 for 2-year grants).
