At DWD we want to reject and dispel imagery that perpetuates stereotypes historically portrayed by mass media.

We're a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization
At this time of year, chances are high that you receive a lot of requests for donations. If, however, you are able, we hope that you’ll consider Divas With Disabilities (DWD) worthy of a donation.
We want to be here for black and brown girls and women with disabilities, and your donation will help us do so. Like any organization, DWD has expenses that must be paid to continue our operations. We’d love for you to be part of our team by helping us pay those expenses.
Your donation can help us with the following costs—all in support of serving our members:
1. Paying our small staff
2. Paying our Zoom expenses so that we can offer our free online support meetings and Empowerment Salons
3. Providing peer support
4. Maintaining our website, newsletter and social media presence
5. Paying miscellaneous costs and fees
6. Funding our grant writing efforts so that we can try to win support from larger organizations instead of relying on you for donations. : )
Your donation will help us continue important and sometimes life-changing work on behalf of our members without having to spend an inordinate amount of time worrying about and seeking the funds we need to operate.
Can we count on you to help us be the kind of organization that we—and you—want us to be?
#GivingTuesday
Black women with disabilities are bold and beautiful. Yet, images of women with disabilities in general, and Black women with disabilities, in particular are seldom reflected positively in the media. Help us ensure that DIVAS are portrayed and represented in television, film, and advertising.
#Giving Tuesday begins yearly, the first
Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
