Third Legacy Foundation
We make barriers to disability inclusion easier to see, understand and change.
Third Legacy is a learning lab for disability inclusion. We focus on two places where access often breaks down: communication and participation.
01 / What we do
Two places where inclusion often breaks down.
02 / Why it matters
Access can exist on paper and still fail in real life.
We study the gap between what organizations intend and what people actually experience.
Many barriers stay invisible until they become personal.
03 / Our pillars
How we turn what we notice into action.
Research
Find and study the barriers that are easy to miss.
Education
Turn what we learn into tools people can use.
Advocacy
Create more access, participation and influence.
04 / Field notes
What Makes It Possible
Field notes on the conditions that turn inclusion from intention into experience.
05 / Founders
We didn’t always know to look for these barriers either.
Feleceia and Frankie Wilson have spent more than a decade working across strategy, communications, behavioral insight, culture and community.
Raising their daughter Zoe, who has Down syndrome, made some barriers impossible to keep abstract. Third Legacy is the nonprofit home for the research, public learning and community work that grew from those questions.
Zoe Communications is the founders’ separate consultancy.
