- Why was The Enterline Foundation established?
While many individuals in our society have need of aid in some form, those with intellectual and developmental disabilities often require especially significant assistance in order to perform the most basic functions. At the same time, their families often are ill-equipped to provide absolutely essential care at home. The Enterline Foundation endeavors to bridge the gap between need and provision by financially supporting worthy organizations that provide quality, comfortable facilities and medical care for individuals who are mentally challenged. It also aims to provide online resources and information for families and caregivers of individuals with special needs.
