About Enterline Foundation
The Enterline Foundation’s recent grants show a clear pattern of practical support for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, with awards used for project-specific needs such as accessible transportation, group home furnishings, communication tools, and workforce or clinic capacity. The largest recent grant in the data was $20,000 to New Avenues to Independence for a human resources software project, a signal that the foundation also backs internal systems that affect service delivery. University-linked disability work is part of that picture as well. Cleveland State University received $19,778 for a Special Need / IDD Solutions Hub, pairing research or convening capacity with direct service relevance. On the provider side, Hi-hope Service Center Inc. received $15,618 for furnishing Rivera Group Home, while L’Arche Chicago got $15,000 for a wheelchair accessible van. Those awards fit a consistent emphasis on concrete improvements that change daily access, mobility, and living conditions for people with IDD. The foundation also funds general and special-purpose support for organizations serving autistic individuals, residents of supported living settings, and disability service providers, using mid-sized grants rather than very large awards.
