Who We Are
The Sentio Foundation brings people, knowledge, and resources together to address needs that existing services and systems leave unanswered.
Our purpose
Safety, health, independence, participation, and quality of life depend on more than any one service. They depend on the people, environments, opportunities, and systems surrounding a person.
Our mission is to understand and address unmet needs, bring together the expertise and resources each requires, and advance solutions that make a meaningful difference in daily life.
Our perspective
A family seeking dependable support, a person looking for greater independence, and a community trying to strengthen its services may encounter challenges that cross professional and organizational boundaries. We work across those boundaries.
Sometimes the right answer already exists and needs to be made accessible or brought together with other support. Sometimes a service, technology, living environment, or system needs to change. The need determines the work.
Our reach
The Foundation’s mission encompasses vulnerable populations across every U.S. state, territory, and Tribal jurisdiction. Our work encompasses direct services, family and caregiver support, community partnerships, education, research, technology, and improvements to the programs and policies that shape everyday life.
We connect individual needs with the wider conditions affecting people and communities. A barrier encountered by one family can point to a service gap, an inaccessible process, or a need for broader change. The Foundation’s mission includes both practical assistance and work to address those underlying barriers.
Our identity
The Sentio Foundation was established to carry a lasting commitment to people and families into practical work.
Sentio reflects perceiving, experiencing, and understanding. It expresses our responsibility to listen closely and understand what a situation requires before deciding how to respond.
