We collected 97 oral histories, co-led by disabled narrators, and used them to engage 1,400 students and 213 parents across seven counties, including Kilifi and Kajiado where infanticide remains a risk. We conducted a stigma survey with 3,670 respondents in the central and eastern counties, installed a mobile studio in Nyahururu, and trained 47 advocates in film and documentary practice. We also began developing the Disability Film Atlas, a global database mapping films where disability plays a central role, highlighting gaps in representation for future scholarship and advocacy. 40093 DisTV Everable initiated its 50-year goal of producing a disability-inclusive film in every country. In 2024, in the US, we moved a feature-length film on prison disability impediments into production. We also partnered with LArche GWDC on a national PSA campaign, producing 18 hours of interviews on loneliness and friendship among americans with intellectual disabilities. We opened a dedicated U.S. film studio for training and production, including intensive mentorship of an intern with an intellectual disability. We pioneered a camera-to-cloud workflow with a quadriplegic editor in Australia, expanding inclusive global collaboration. Everable was invited to Apple to explore disability-inclusive VR filmmaking and participated in the IASSIDD Congress, strengthening academic and professional networks. 5660 25000 DisAID Everable connects underfunded disability groups with industry leaders. In 2024, we contributed to a policy victory in Indiana that screened in the State House receiving bipartisan support and helping preserve attendant care services for hoosiers with disabilities. Through our U.S. and Kenyan studio initiatives, we trained and mentored disability advocates in filmmaking, documentary practice, and technical production, providing tools to reduce stigma and strengthen advocacy. We expanded access to professional-grade infrastructure, ensuring grassroots groups can collaborate with industry partners and amplify their impact. By linking visionary but under-resourced leaders with media and policy expertise, DisAID positioned Everable as a bridge for global disability inclusion. 193779 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 1 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 3 2 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true false false IN X X Michael Joseph McDonald 5743292612 520 E Lasalle South Bend IN 46617 Michael McDonald President / Treasurer 001.00 X X 59583 0 0 Nicholas David Herd Secretary 001.00 X X 0 0 0 Charlie Buhler Director 001.00 X 0 0 0 59583 false false false 913447 913447 DisAID Program 900099 25000 25000 25000 938447 25000 X 0 0 0 0 53699 32219 13425 8055 0 0 0 0 15575 9345 3894 2336 0 887 887 368 368 0 0 25473 25473 16489 16489 9124 7890 1234 5775 2879 2896 0 18774 12796 4270 1708 24532 24532 0 0 0 0 15141 15141 0 Program Equipment Purchase 43387 43387 Equipment Rental Maintenance 3628 3628 0 232852 193779 26974 12099 65468 37300 600000 151404 15141 136263 65468 773563 0 0 X 65468 773563 65468 773563 65468 773563 705595 2500 X false false false X 100500 913447 1013947 100500 913447 1013947 1013947 1013947 25000 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false 151404 15141 136263 136263 Financial derivatives and other financial products Closely-held equity interests Federal income taxes Sub-Saharan Africa 2 Program Services Education and Storytelling 27295 2 2 27295 27295 false false false false false false Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The organization reviews the 990 form at a board meeting prior to submitting to the IRS.
