Including Disability is an affordable, accessible, and inclusive community open to the public, thanks to our wonderful sponsors’ ongoing, dedicated support.

Our unique cross-disciplinary and cross-disability approach draws over 200 participants to each major event we host, including representatives of universities, local governments, state governments, funding agencies, federal agencies, non-profit organizations, and advocacy groups. Your organization will be featured on our website, in podcast pre-rolls and/or post-rolls, or during opening and closing remarks at events. We reach hundreds—if not thousands—of innovative thinkers. Why not brand your organization as a forward-thinking advocate of inclusion for all disabled people?
To continue building a stronger and more inclusive research and educational community for disabled people, we need additional resources to take our vision and make it a reality. Our biggest priority is to ensure that our initiatives—like the journal and podcast—and events are free and accessible to all. Our work isn't just about disability; it's a platform for collaboration for disabled people. We aim to fund our work fully so that our community members can participate without financial burden. The Summit event alone costs, including accessible web platforms, recording and captioning for moderated conference and networking sessions, interpreters, and digital support for d/Deaf, hard of hearing, and blind or low vision attendees, about $50,000. Right now, only one member of our staff is paid, and everyone else volunteers their time. In the future, we'd like to change that. If we can do what we're doing now on volunteer time, just imagine what we could do with a full-time staff!
