In September of 2023, the WITH Foundation formally announced its decision to shorten its lifespan and spend down all assets by the end of 2028. As part of this transition, WITH has developed a Strategic Partnerships initiative. This grantmaking effort allows the Foundation to make larger, more focused investments in a select group of organizations with whom we have established partnerships. These partners include current and former grantees whose work closely aligns with WITH’s mission and values.
Through Strategic Partnership grants, WITH aims to:
-
Continue work that we have previously supported;
-
Support partner-led efforts that advance comprehensive healthcare for adults with I/DD;
-
Fortify WITH’s core values within the broader U.S. healthcare landscape.
These partnerships reflect our confidence in the leadership and expertise of our grantees. To date, WITH has provided more than $6.7 million in Strategic Partnership grants.
