The posting

About the Disability Rights Fund

The Disability Rights Fund (DRF) is a global organization that provides grants, advocacy, and technical support to organizations run by people with disabilities in Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and the Caribbean, helping them fight for equal rights and inclusion. People with disabilities are at the heart of the decision-making at every level of the organization, reflecting their core belief that those most affected should lead the charge. DRF is the only global funder focused exclusively on disability rights, working to shift the conversation from seeing disability as a charity issue to recognizing it as a matter of human rights

Since 2008, we have awarded $60.8 million to 636 organizations across 62 countries in Africa, Asia, Haiti, and the Pacific Island countries.

By the numbers:

  • 7500+ activists trained through peer and collective learning
  • 379 inclusive laws, policies and programs advanced
  • 100+ UN Reports submitted to multilateral bodies

Why DRF, Why now? Our approach positions local organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs) as the leaders, with DRF serving as a partner to propel community-based solutions. A majority of DRF's staff are persons with disabilities, women, and rooted in the communities we serve.

DRF strengthens disability rights in Sub-Saharan Africa, South and South-East Asia, Haiti, and the Pacific Island Countries through participatory grantmaking, peer learning, and inclusive advocacy.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
