Our Funds
Dedicated to ensuring disabled creatives have the financial support to weather industry challenges and remain vital parts of Hollywood’s creative community.
Emergency Relief Fund
"It gave me hope in a time where there's been very little. Having someone extend a hand and offer that assistance… was monumental.”
- Emergency Relief Fund Grantee
Created in response to the 2023 WGA Strike, the fund was launched to support disabled Hollywood screenwriters during a precarious time for the industry. It has since evolved to provide as-needed hardship grants in times of crisis — like the 2025 L.A. wildfires — and general career instability to disabled screenwriters and filmmakers working in narrative, documentary, and unscripted film and television.
Applications are currently open.
Disabled Consultant Futures Fund
"We’re not anti-consultant. We're pro-disabled creative. Consulting is good in context with the presence of other disabled creatives in positions of power on the project. If you remove that, it becomes problematic because it’s supplemental, not additive.”
- Emergency Relief Fund Grantee
Hollywood has a history of hiring disabled creatives as consultants, where they have less creative control and lower pay, instead of as writers, directors, and producers — the jobs they're trained for. This fund offers tools to help disabled writers, actors and academics, who currently work as disability consultants, negotiate for the positions they actually want. To do this, the fund buys back consultants time — at 150% of received consulting offers — allowing them to negotiate for a better position or use their time to advance their creative careers.
Applications are currently open.
L.A. Young Adult Relief Fund
"The relief fund was transformative, allowing me to focus on being more present without the stress of financial constraints. It empowered me. " - YA Relief Fund Grantee
