FWD-Doc just crossed the finish line on our first year as an official nonprofit organization! To mark the occasion, we have created a special report celebrating our impact — and all of the hard work and dedicated support that has brought us to this point.

Throughout the report, you’ll hear more about the three pillars of our work at FWD-Doc, get a sneak peek at what we’re building for the year ahead and have the chance to learn more about some of the incredible new projects being helmed by our amazing members across the globe. We have also been hard at work behind the scenes expanding our talented team and building a strong surplus to carry our work into the future.

The report also gives us an important opportunity to extend our gratitude to the many people who make our work possible — our partners from the broader industry, our passionate supporters, our board and team, and most importantly, our incredible membership community.

I hope you’ll take a moment to join us in celebrating all that we’ve accomplished together! Thank you for choosing to be a part of our community and for all that you do to champion and elevate stories by, for and about disabled people at this critical moment in time!

Jo Lakatos,
Development Manager
