Building on Excellence

A capital campaign to create a transformational headquarters for Westchester Institute for Human Development

WIHD is a critical and trusted resource in our community and has a reputation as innovators in our field. But our headquarters in Valhalla, New York, is a hinderance to providing the level of care we believe in, to those who need it most.

We have secured a new facility that can meet our needs today, with room to grow and adapt for years to come—but we need your help to transform it into the modern headquarters WIHD needs to provide our full range of services.

Read our case for support which summarizes our history of excellence as a critical resource to our community, our barriers to access, and plans to remedy those barriers for continued positive impact.

Our Vision

At WIHD, we know how important it is to treat every person who walks through our doors with dignity and respect. Every aspect of our physical space—from how it looks and feels, to the services we provide inside—directly impacts our community’s experience and our ability to live out our values.

We envision a facility that mirrors the warmth and attention we provide, and are committed to creating a welcoming, uplifting, and inclusive environment for all who enter. To this end, we must first renovate the facility to align with universal design principles of modern construction—guidelines that prioritize access for all and promote well-being. We want to ensure WIHD is a warm and inviting environment that reflects the dignity and respect our patients deserve, and the high-quality service WIHD provides.

BUILDING ON EXCELLENCE is a $5 million campaign that will allow us to fully live our values and treat every person who enters WIHD with the dignity and respect they deserve.
