The foundation has launched multiple grant initiatives nationwide, targeting a critical gap in services for individuals navigating the transition to independent living. The selected organisations will receive support to develop and strengthen housing and employment programmes that serve adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The funding initiative reflects a commitment to improving quality of life outcomes across multiple dimensions of daily living and professional development.
The programme also emphasises the importance of supporting families of individuals with disabilities, recognising the broader ecosystem required for successful integration into community life. By partnering with 16 key organisations across the country, the foundation aims to create a comprehensive support network addressing diverse regional needs and service gaps.
