About The Enterline Foundation

The Enterline Foundation’s sole focus on the intellectual and developmental disabilities sector for over two decades has allowed the organization to dig deep into the needs of individuals, their families, and the organizations that serve them. The sector-specific work and volunteer experience of its Board and staff ensures that richer conversations and connections can happen between the foundation and its grantees. This unique perspective and lived experience allows the foundation to make meaningful contributions that go beyond writing a check.
