Outside of our traditional grant cycles, WITH Foundation provides limited event underwriting support and sponsorships. Events supported through the Discretionary Fund must be related to healthcare, digital health, disability, and/or philanthropy. Applications for the Discretionary Fund are by invitation-only (via the Executive Director or the Self-Advocate Advisory Committee) and require an Access Code. If there is an event you would like to be considered for support, a brief summary can be emailed to: info@withfoundation.org. Organizations cannot receive support through the Discretionary Fund for more than three (3) consecutive years.
