Participation doesn&#39;t happen by chance. Your support makes it possible.Every person with disability should have the opportunity to take part in sport in the way that works best for them. Across Australia, 1 in 5 people live with disability. 75 percent want to play sport. Only 14 percent do each week. The gap between wanting to participate and being able to is not accidental. We are closing it. Disability Sports Australia is a national organisation focused on increasing participation in grassroots sport for people with disability. Recognised by the Australian Sports Commission and a founding member of Paralympics Australia, we have shaped disability sport in Australia for more than 65 years. How your support creates participation Participation starts locally. It happens in communities, clubs, and environments built to create opportunities for people with disability. It does not increase through programs alone. It requires investment in the people, capability, partnerships, and systems that make participation possible. Working with our partners across the country, we: • Create local opportunities for people with disability to try, take part, and stay involved in sport • Build the capability of clubs, coaches, and organisations to create participation opportunities for people with disability • Drive change by embedding lived experience, evidence, and advocacy• Increase visibility so people with disability are seen and valued in sport Government and corporate partnerships support part of this work. Less than 1 percent of our revenue currently comes from community donations. Our goal is to grow this to 10 percent. Your support helps fund the full cost of creating opportunities nationally, including local delivery, venues, travel, workforce development, and paid roles for people with disability in sport delivery. Donate today A donation of $`40 can help connect people with disability to sport opportunities within their local community. Participation changes lives. But it does not happen by chance. Your support helps make it possible for more people with disability across Australia. All donations of `$2 or more are tax deductible through the Australian Sports Foundation.
