The DSAWM Foundation

The Down Syndrome Association of West Michigan Foundation (DSAWMF) was established to provide a permanent source of principal, so that funds would be available in the future to support individuals with Down syndrome, their families, and the West Michigan communities in which they live, work, and play. DSAWMF is a separate not-for-profit organization from the Down Syndrome Association of West Michigan (DSAWM), funded by cash, securities and other assets, and helps to fund the vital programs, supports and services provided by DSAWM.

DSAWMF also periodically contributes to West Michigan initiatives that support the Down syndrome and disability communities. Local programs supported by DSAWMF in the past have included Arts in Motion’s Chair Affair and the Grand Rapids Civic Theater’s Low Sensory Night.
