Invest in Disability Inclusion



1 in 4 people has a disability.

People with disabilities 2x more likely to be unemployed, 2x more likely to be underemployed, and 2x more likely to live in poverty than their nondisabled peers.


Starkloff Disability Institute's programs level the playing field for students and professionals with disabilities. Working with experts who are professionals with disabilities themselves, these talented candidates develop the skills and confidence they need through:

  • 1:1 career coaching,
  • peer network building,
  • connections to leading companies who value inclusion, and
  • a tailored curriculum focused on Disability Pride and self-advocacy.


When you give to SDI, you are supporting disability-led programming that advances opportunities for kids and adults with disabilities through personal empowerment and community education. Your gift is an investment in a world where all of us have equal opportunities.
