ICAAD has made significant advancements this year, forging new partnerships and helping communities demand and advance their rights through data and advocacy. As you are making your end of the year charitable gifts, our team asks that you help foster a new generation of advocates against structural discrimination by supporting ICAAD.
We are trying to reach $2,500/ month in recurring donations. We are currently at $1,505. Act now and your first month’s donation will be matched by Global Giving!
We would sincerely appreciate your support in meeting our goal. Your donation is tax-deductible.
Your support has helped us work toward addressing some of the most complex social problems globally. The key to combating systemic forms of discrimination is evidence and through data collection and advocacy with our partners, we promote long-term sustainable change. Your faith in our work has:
