Leadership Transition WIHD is transitioning leadership with a new President & CEO named in June 2026 and a retirement of the current CEO by end of 2026. This creates a window for engaging in strategic partnerships, funding opportunities, and program expansion conversations aligned with new leadership priorities.

Fundraising Momentum Annual gala in May 2026 attracted around 185 leaders and supporters, signaling strong community engagement and donor networks. This momentum can be leveraged to propose sponsorships, collaborative campaigns, and expanded giving programs.

Strategic Partnerships Active collaboration with Volunteer New York! and participation in legislative and community programs indicate openness to cross-sector partnerships. Opportunities exist for technology-enabled training, program delivery support, and joint outreach with nonprofits and public agencies.

Technology Stack WIHD uses a mix of cloud, collaboration, and e-commerce tools (Microsoft 365, Zoom, Adobe, Shopify/WooCommerce, Airtable). These platforms support potential offerings in digital learning platforms, CRM/Donor management enhancements, and program delivery software.

Scale and Impact As a regional center with 51-200 employees and substantial revenue, WIHD represents a significant partner for scalable solutions (infrastructure, data analytics, reliability services) and potential collaborations with larger healthcare and education networks seeking to augment services for disabilities and vulnerable populations.
