With Foundation concentrates on national-scale partnerships that strengthen services, advocacy, and research for people with disabilities and developmental differences, with a secondary emphasis on pediatric/adolescent health and higher-education research partnerships. Grants are primarily multi-hundred-thousand-dollar partnership or strategic support awards to national intermediaries, specialty hospitals, and university research centers rather than many small local grants. The foundation favors capacity-building and programmatic partnerships that scale best-practices and policy/rights work for families and caregivers.
With Foundation’s recent grantmaking is centered on comprehensive healthcare for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, with large strategic awards to national disability organizations, health systems, and research partners. The biggest recent grants include $760,000 to The National Alliance to Advance Adolescent Health and $760,000 to the Association of University Centers on Disabilities, showing a preference for partnership-based support at the national level. Across the recent list, the foundation also backs groups working on disability rights, supported decision-making, family navigation, and healthcare access, often through project support or strategic partnership support rather than small local awards. The pattern is not limited to advocacy. Health-focused institutions appear alongside disability networks, including Institute for Exceptional Care, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and Family Voices. Other grants point to work on communication access, developmental disability supports, and systems-level change. With Foundation also uses themed RFPs, which suggests a structured approach to selecting projects aligned with annual priorities such as Medicaid and Medicare advocacy or supported decision-making. The result is a grantmaker that funds organizations positioned to influence practice, policy, and service delivery across the U.S.
In disability-rights and systems-change work, With Foundation gave $510,000 to National Disability Rights Network for strategic partnership support and $238,000 to Communication First for partnership support. Those grants sit alongside support for organizations advancing advocacy and self-determination for people with disabilities. Healthcare delivery is another clear theme. The foundation awarded $610,000 to Institute for Exceptional Care for partnership support and $460,000 to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for partnership support, pointing to investments in clinical practice and healthcare access. It also supported The National Alliance to Advance Adolescent Health with $760,000, linking disability-focused grantmaking with adolescent health. Family-centered and condition-specific organizations also appear in the recent list. With Foundation gave $433,000 to National Down Syndrome Society and $423,000 to Family Voices, both as partnership support, which reflects attention to family support, navigation, and advocacy in disability and pediatric health contexts.

Relatively concentrated, large six-figure grants to a small set of national organizations and university/medical research centers; emphasis on repeat/strategic partnership and project support rather than many small or one-time awards.
Notable grantees: The National Alliance to Advance Adolescent Health, National Disability Rights Network, The Arc of the United States, National Down Syndrome Society, Wiki Education Foundation
With Foundation’s typical grant size sits at a p25 of $7,500, median of $45,000, and p75 of $53,725, but recent awards often run much larger than that range. The grantmaking pattern also includes repeats across years: Institute for Exceptional Care appears in both 2024 and 2025, and multiple other organizations receive multi-year or renewed strategic support. The foundation is a regular funder rather than a DAF, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. Its active programs include open and RFP-based cycles, and some accept unsolicited applications while others are invitation-only or themed.
Grant recipients are entirely U.S.-based in the recent data, with 192 grants and 100% of listed recipients in the United States. California is the top state by grant count, and 22% of grants go to recipients in the foundation’s HQ state. Recent recipient cities include Washington, DC; Silver Spring, MD; San Francisco, CA; Chicago, IL; and Oakland, CA. The list also reaches Dallas, TX, Lexington, KY, and Honolulu, HI, showing a national footprint with a concentration in major nonprofit and research hubs.
With Foundation funds national disability rights and advocacy organizations, developmental disability and Down syndrome networks, pediatric and adolescent health partners, and university or medical center research partners. Recent awards include strategic partnership support, project support, and some operating support for organizations working on healthcare access, systems change, and family-centered navigation.
Some programs do. The Open Grant Cycle, the Annual Grant Cycle, several RFP cycles, and the Supported Decision-Making RFP all accept unsolicited applications or proposals. Other programs, including Strategic Partnerships and some themed RFP cycles, do not.
The foundation’s typical grant size is a p25 of $7,500, median of $45,000, and p75 of $53,725. In the recent grant list, many awards are much larger, including multiple six-figure partnership and project grants.
The pattern includes recurring support. Institute for Exceptional Care appears in both 2024 and 2025, and the foundation’s grantmaking includes strategic partnership support and multi-year funding under some cycles, which suggests that some grantees receive renewed support over time.
The recent grants emphasize comprehensive healthcare for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, disability rights and advocacy, supported decision-making, family support, and pediatric or adolescent health partnerships. The RFPs also show attention to Medicaid and Medicare advocacy, resource development, and applied research.
