Meet Our Founder
Lilly Grossman is the Founder and CEO of Beyond The Box Advocacy, where she works with organizations and policymakers to redesign disability support systems. She is the creator of the Enforced Barriers Project, a systems-change effort focused on dismantling the structural limits built into disability policy. Her work centers on national reform, beginning with the Disability Support Service Portability Framework, which addresses enforced immobility by creating a federal model where support follows the person across geographic lines.
As both a policy thinker and a person with lived experience, Lilly bridges direct impact and long-term systems design. She is currently completing her Master of Social Work at the University of Southern California, where her research and practice focus on the intersection of disability, access, and federal continuity of care.
Her leadership is rooted in the belief that people with disabilities should not have to choose between independence and survival and policy must be redesigned so freedom is not conditional.
Lilly also speaks, advises, and collaborates with organizations, policymakers, and advocacy groups working to reform disability systems and expand access through policy and practice.
She has been featured in Forbes and was a podcast guest on Pushing Forward with Alycia.
