Our Community Partners are change agents for vulnerable populations. They are 501c3 nonprofits that are either delivering innovative care or developing new ideas and models for doing so. They also mirror the company itself: creative, effective and focused on the highest quality standards. Our partners are results-oriented, leveraging resources and knowledge to positively impact individuals and communities and to transform society’s vision of and approach to its most vulnerable members.
Sevita, formerly The MENTOR Network, is a national network of local health care and human services providers offering an array of quality, community-based services to adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, brain and spinal cord injuries and other catastrophic injuries and illnesses; to youth with emotional, behavioral and medically complex challenges, as well as their families; and to elders in need of support. In order to qualify for support from The MENTOR Network Charitable Foundation, an organization must benefit the same populations the company serves.
Since its inception in 2007, hundreds of Community Partner grants have been awarded to organizations across the country. Learn more about our impact.
