The Disability Rights Fund (DRF) and the Disability Rights Advocacy Fund (DRAF) are a grantmaking collaboration between donors and the global disability rights community that empowers persons with disabilities to advocate for equal rights and participation in society.

Through grantmaking, advocacy, and technical assistance, the Funds support Disabled Persons Organizations (DPOs) to use global rights and development frameworks, such as the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — ensuring no one is left behind.
