The mission of WITH Foundation is to promote the establishment of comprehensive healthcare for adults with developmental disabilities that is designed to address their unique and fundamental needs.

Grants typically provide one year of support but may cover as much as three years to support programming that warrants extended funding. After initial approval, all multi-year grants are subject to annual review before funds for subsequent years are released. During our traditional grant cycles (OPEN and RFP cycles) WITH will consider grants of up to $100,000. We will give preference to organizations that share our core values and work to support comprehensive healthcare for adults with I/DD. During our traditional grant cycles we will also consider research-focused grants. Research-focused grants can be up to $200,000, recognizing the pivotal role research plays in propelling positive change in the realm of disability healthcare.
