Overview

Mission

Making the world a better place for people with disabilities through the power of storytelling.

What it reported doing in 2024

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.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - Most voting board members are independent and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
