Allies Give

Allies in Action members, as part of their commitment to allyship, make a commitment to direct a percentage of their year-end charitable contributions to organizations founded for, led by, and working on behalf of communities of color. YFJ Consulting facilitates these donations by identifying qualifying organizations and assessing them on the extent of their commitment to inclusion and equity.

WOC Gives Back
Philanthropic Portfolio

This year, we have selected organizations whose missions support those with disabilities. As you make your year-end giving decisions, we hope that perhaps this shines a light on organizations new and old, which you can support in their work to make the world a better, more equitable place for those with disabilities.

“We greatly appreciate the Luminary Award from Allies in Action, which is illuminating the path to higher education and brighter futures for high school students who have been marginalized and overlooked for generations. This gift opens the door for even more of our children to a proven, caring and supportive after-school program that has nurtured 100 percent of our graduating Scholars to college acceptance since 2003.”
