Notable achievements

Incorporation and federal recognition

The organization completed formal nonprofit incorporation and secured 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status in the late 2010s, establishing a formal donor-facing structure and enabling expanded fundraising and grantmaking relationships.

DQRC received multi-year grant support for general operations and philanthropic learning (including a Disability Frontlines Fund grant) that funded virtual convenings and organizational capacity-building across 2022–2024.
