We thank our current funders: The Abbott Fund, Comcast, and the Kellogg Foundation.Įnriching Education for Black Students with DisabilitiesĮasterseals has partnered with researchers at the Collaborative on Racialized Disability (CORD) on an initiative to improve access to special education resources for families of Black students with disabilities.
During this time in history when systems that provide healthcare, education, and childcare are under unprecedented stress, we are seeking $5 million in support from visionary partners to act now in addressing issues with lasting consequences. In the wake of COVID-19, racial inequities are exacerbated. Through this fund, we've begun the initial phase of a special education advocate training course, developed through our partnership with researchers from the Collaborative on Racialized Disability (CORD), which addresses the pressing need to serve Black students with disabilities and their families. This is just the beginning. That is why we’ve established the Black Child Fund - to help end racial disparities in healthcare, childcare, and education faced by Black children early and throughout life. Unfortunately, we still live in a society with systemic inequities that create significant barriers for minorities, especially minorities with disabilities. Easterseals Brings Scale to Diversity and Inclusion PhilanthropyĪt Easterseals, our main goal is to ensure that all people, no matter what background or ability, are 100% included and 100% empowered.
