The ndings seem to contrast with the philanthropic

sector’s broad goal of promoting diversity, equity and

inclusion, or DEI. Indeed, the study notes that some

72 percent of people who work in the social sector say

their organizations have made a public commitment to

DEI, and most have policies that prohibit their groups

from denying people with disabilities equal opportu-

nity to participate in services and activities.

The reason for the disconnect between goals and

reality comes down to old-fashioned bias, the study

found. Whether implicit or overt, prejudice against

people with disabilities was the top reason, cited by

more than one-third of respondents polled for the

study.

Making matters worse, few leaders at philanthropic

organizations are specically asking that the groups

they lead or support through grant funding make

including people with disabilities a priority. This

means funders and others in leadership positions are

not requiring—or even suggesting—that attention

be paid to disability inclusion, the study concluded.

The good news is, funders and charities can take

some simple steps that can add up to a big impact in

terms of accommodating the disabled and ensuring

their access to charitable services.

According to the report, having a DEI policy that

specically names disability as an area of focus and

including people with disabilities in board, leadership

and/or staff positions are two of the most critical

measures, as groups that are explicit about disability

DISABILITIES (continued from page 6) inclusion as a priority and groups with disability

representation within their ranks are more likely to

be taking action.

Starbucks to expand

partnership with Points of Light

The Starbucks Foundation has awarded a $3.5

million grant to Points of Light, the world’s larg-

est organization dedicated to volunteer service,

to support the expansion of the Starbucks Foun-

dation Service Fellows Program, an innovative

service model inspired by national service.

Following a successful six-month pilot last year,

the full-scale program will expand to seven new

markets in 20 cities.

The group will match the 100 Starbucks Fel-

lows with local Points of Light Global Network

members. During their service term, the fellows

will work part time for the Points of Light afliate,

expanding the capacity of the local nonprot and

their community partners to meet their missions,

while continuing to work part time at Starbucks.

Points of Light also will use the funding to

strengthen the capacity of the nonprot sector

through resources, programs and partnerships.
