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.

Led by Inevitable’s own Creative Executive and funded by industry institutions including Disney, Starz and Lionsgate, Inevitable’s curated service features a roster of professional disabled writers, their writing samples, and experience – all made directly available to other creative executives, showrunners, and producers via a personalized, high-touch selection process. Since launching, the Concierge has facilitated more than 700 submissions and 150 networking introductions for disabled creatives on projects with leading studios and streamers.

Through its $5,000+ professional development grants, Elevate Collective focuses on boosting the creative careers of disabled writers by alleviating financial challenges, generating mentoring opportunities, and providing coaching. The offerings, supported during various granting rounds by organizations including The Loreen Arbus Foundation, Starz #TaketheLead, and Caring Across Generations can go towards career coaching, script analysis, optioning IP, networking, and work-from-home setups.

Inevitable Foundation institutes its Healthcare Program, to serve as a bridge to Writers Guild of America healthcare for Accelerate Fellows who are not yet on WGA plans or have fallen off of them. This marks a major milestone for Inevitable’s programs and the beginning of a larger integration of healthcare support into its fellowship opportunities, with 80% of participants satisfied with the health insurance provided and 100% saying they'd recommend the insurance program to other Accelerate Fellows.

As part of its ongoing expansion into new mediums, this branch of Elevate Collective — supported by Spotify — offered eight narrative fiction and non-fiction podcasters professional development grants worth $12,500 to support marketing, equipment, IP licensing, accommodations, and more tied to their audio projects.

Inevitable’s first major step into supporting multi-hyphenate creators, the Visionary Fellowship is exclusively backed by Netflix and offers $55,000 in diversified support to emerging disabled creatives looking to write and direct a short film over the course of a year. The inaugural Visionary fellows will be named in the fall of 2024.
