Revenue model

1. Donations and Grants: Inclusion Ghana operates as a nonprofit that relies on donations, grants, and charitable contributions to fund its programs and operations. Funding sources include corporate sponsors, individual donors, and international organizations.
2. Workplace Giving Program: Corporate employees contribute small monthly amounts deducted from salaries, with example of 50 employees contributing GH¢ 0.50/day generating GH¢ 9,000 annually. This is a recurring donation model built on Newmont Ghana's successful model.
3. Direct Child Support: Individuals or corporate institutions directly support persons with intellectual disabilities (PWIDs) through funding for therapies, assistive devices, and medication. Inclusion Ghana acts as intermediary providing supervision and monitoring.
4. Gifts-In-Kind: Businesses donate products, office supplies, equipment, physiotherapy items, electronics, clothing, educational tools, pharmaceuticals, and building supplies to community-based programs.
5. Loaned Executive Sponsorship: Companies can sponsor a loaned executive for GH¢ 1500-3000 per 30 days of service, or loan employees to provide expert services, training, or consultation.
6. Parents Self-Help Group Support: Parents within self-help groups engage in income generating activities including animal production, crop production, textile production, dress making, soap making, and bead making. Groups receive training in resource mobilization and financial literacy.

Broad incumbents

• Light for the World: European INGO focused on inclusive eye health, education, and empowerment of persons with disabilities, with partnerships in Ghana. Comparable donor-funded model, inclusive-education focus, and developing-country program delivery.
• CBM (Christian Blind Mission): Large international disability-focused INGO working across disability types (vision, hearing, physical, intellectual) in low- and middle-income countries, including Ghana. Competes for the same donor and CSR wallet while offering broader thematic coverage.
• Inclusion International: Global federation advocating for the rights of persons with intellectual disabilities and their families. Operates the same IDD-inclusion mission as Inclusion Ghana at global scale, making it the closest thematic anchor peer.
• Humanity & Inclusion (Handicap International): Global INGO supporting persons with disabilities in low-income countries, with active West Africa programming. Comparable as a large established disability-rights and inclusion organization with similar advocacy and field-program structure.
• Sightsavers: International disability INGO with active West Africa operations and government partnerships. Comparable in relying on government partnerships, donor funding, and awareness-campaign-driven models for disability inclusion.

Emerging players

• Down Syndrome International: International NGO focused specifically on Down syndrome — a subset of intellectual disability. Comparable niche thematic focus on a specific IDD population and global resource-publication approach.

Direct peers

• Africa Disability Forum: Continental network of disability organizations across Africa; Inclusion Ghana's Secretary now leads this body. Directly comparable as a disability-rights umbrella/peak network, and Inclusion Ghana is institutionally tied through ADF leadership.
• Ghana Federation of Disability Organisations: National umbrella body of disability organizations in Ghana. Most direct local peer as the comparable Ghanaian peak/coalition structure coordinating cross-disability advocacy and member services.
• Special Olympics Africa: Regional arm of Special Olympics providing sports training and competition for persons with intellectual disabilities across Africa. Highly comparable target population (PWIDs) and program mix (training, awareness, community inclusion).

Others

• Disability Rights Fund: Current grant-making partner of Inclusion Ghana that funds disability-rights organizations in the Global South. Comparable ecosystem role as a funder/enabler in the same disability-rights space, though not a service-delivery peer.
