Who We Are

The CDS Wolf Foundation, named in honor of CDS Monarch founders, Lew & Phyllis Wolf – seeks donations to help support the growth and expansion of CDS Life Transitions’ community services and unfunded areas of need. Established in 2007, The CDS Wolf Foundation aims to help make a lasting impact on the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental  disabilities, seniors, and veterans.

Residential and community living services, temporary housing for veterans, affordable housing, clinical services, case management, special olympics, recreation activities and emergency assistance are some of the unfunded areas that the CDS Wolf Foundation supports.

Our Commitment

Named in honor of Our Founders, Lew and Phyllis Wolf, the CDS Wolf Foundation seeks donations to help support the growth and expansion of CDS Life Transitions’ community services and unfunded areas of need. Gifts to the Foundation go directly to providing critically needed, yet  unfunded, opportunities that provide support  to  people assisted  by CDS Life Transitions.
