The mission of Warm Springs Foundation is to empower people with disabilities to reach their fullest potential.
Warm Springs Foundation Inc’s grantmaking is centered on people with disabilities, especially those affected by spinal cord injury, brain injury, amputation, and other catastrophic injuries. A defining feature is its direct support for ConnectAbility, an initiative the foundation founded to coordinate care and keep services free for people with life-altering injuries and their families. In the recent grant record, ConnectAbility received the largest award at $1,018,540 in 2025, following a $186,898 award in 2023. Beyond that centerpiece, the foundation funds nonprofit programs that provide rehabilitation care, assistive services, caregiver support, education, research, and capacity building. Its stated mission is to help people with disabilities reach their fullest potential, and the grant list shows that mission expressed through support for organizations serving children and adults with physical disabilities in Texas. The pattern also includes recurring support for local service providers and disability-focused organizations in San Antonio and nearby cities. Awards in the recent list range from five-figure grants to larger six-figure support, with several organizations receiving funding in multiple years.
Rehabilitation and direct service are at the core of the foundation’s work. It gave $50,000 to Project Mend in 2025 and another $50,000 in 2024 for support, alongside $50,000 to Teamability in 2025 and $45,000 in 2023 for support. These grants fit the foundation’s emphasis on helping organizations that serve people with physical disabilities. The foundation also backs brain-injury and spinal cord injury services. Tbi Warrior Foundation received $85,000 in 2024 and $56,500 in 2025, while Alamo Head Injury Foundation received $36,000 in 2025. For family support, Respite Care of San Antonio received $30,000 in 2025. Adaptive sports and inclusive recreation appear as well: Texas Regional Parasport received $35,000 in 2025, and Kinetic Kids received $38,000 in 2025.
Warm Springs Foundation Inc’s typical grant size sits in a relatively tight band: p25 is $20,000, median is $30,000, and p75 is $49,250. The recent record shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including ConnectAbility, Project Mend, Teamability, and Kinetic Kids, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. The foundation is a private foundation with annual grants of $2,584,570 and total assets of $115,843,499. Its grantmaking programs include both general grantmaking and an initiative that accepts unsolicited proposals.
