Our Funds

Dedicated to ensuring disabled creatives have the financial support to weather industry challenges and remain vital parts of Hollywood’s creative community.

Greenlight Disability

Over 25% of Americans have a disability, and collectively, $21 billion in discretionary income each year. Yet they remain a massively underserved audience on screen, with 66% of both disabled and non-disabled people unsatisfied with current representations of disability and mental health in film and television.

Greenlight Disability is an initiative that showcases the value of entertaining disability films and TV shows by highlighting an untapped market of disabled audiences eager for entertaining content that resonates with their experiences. Investing in this highly lucrative market builds trust, satisfaction, and revenue, making the demands of this audience — which constitutes 1 billion globally — a compelling reason to greenlight disability.

Disabled Consultant Futures Fund

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.
