Around this time, the foundation begins building relationships with core individuals and institutions at the intersection of entertainment and disability. Virtual panels and podcasts begin with allies and collaborators like the Writers Guild of America West’s Disabled Writers Committee, The Black List, Easterseals Disability Film Challenge, Disability Philanthropy Forum, and disability leaders, like Judy Heumann and her Heumann Perspective Podcast, alongside a growing list of showrunners and executive producers.

With the establishment of its flagship program, the Accelerate Fellowship (formerly known as the Screenwriting Fellowship), Inevitable delivers its first major artistic and financial investment in disabled writers. The fellowship includes an unrestricted grant, bespoke mentorship, and access to high-touch workshops with industry leaders. With the early financial support of industry entities like Amazon, Netflix and Warner Bros., as well as a later major investment by Netflix that dramatically expanded the program beginning in November 2022, the Accelerate Fellowship — also home to Inevitable’s discussion series, Writers Therapy — quickly grew to a $40,000 grant per fellow.

As a burgeoning industry leader in disability, Inevitable begins developing new relationships and directly engaging studios and networks through virtual panels, such as the Closing the Disability Representation Gap in Kids’ & Family Television panel with Nickelodeon, service days at Paramount and Searchlight Pictures, and company briefings at Participant Media, Rideback, and Disney.
