An incredible announcement comes off the back of the 2021’s Davos agenda for the Valuable 500.

It is terrific to see such a significant global investment by the private sector into disability services. And yes we have sent them an expression of interest to see if they would be prepared to look at a grant application from Enabled.vip.

Disability inclusion now has the power to soar to new heights, thanks to a great investment from Japan’s largest private foundation.

On Friday 29 January, Japan’s Nippon Foundation cemented their commitment to business disability inclusion through a $5 million dollar investment. Now, they have joined The Valuable 500 as Global Impact Partner.

This investment will be put towards launching Phase 2 of The Valuable 500’s campaign.

The Valuable 500 is a worldwide network of CEO’s who are committed to including disability inclusion on the business agenda. First launched in DAVOS in 2019, the goal is to have 500 CEO’s across the globe committed to disability business inclusion.
