    The Disability Inclusion Fund (DIF) and the DIF x Tech Fund at Borealis Philanthropy focus on supporting U.S.-based groups run by and for people with disabilities, aiming for transformative change at the nexus of disability, justice, and technology. Supported by donations from the Presidents’ Council on Disability Inclusion in Philanthropy and in collaboration with the Ford Foundation and the MacArthur Foundation, these funds prioritize proposals that address the intersection of technology and disability rights and justice. Initiatives may include policy advocacy to mitigate algorithmic bias, strategies led by disability justice principles, and efforts to democratize tech development. The DIF x Tech Fund values participation, intersectionality, radical inclusion, leadership from those most impacted by ableism, and cross-movement solidarity. It aims to support disabled leaders and organizations, ensuring technology's accessibility and the reduction of ableist biases within tech development and use. Grants provided range from $50,000 to $100,000 over two years for organizations working at this intersection.
