Glatfelter Foundation Grant Fuels Professional Growth at Vista—Strengthening Care for Those We Serve Vista is proud to announce a generous multi-year grant from the Anne M. & Philip H. Glatfelter III Family Foundation to advance professional development for staff across all Vista programs. This investment helps us do what matters most—deliver exceptional, compassionate support to individuals and families—by equipping our team with the latest skills, credentials, and tools to excel. Why this matters for families When our staff grow, those we serve benefit. The grant enables Vista to continue supporting: Participation in high-quality conferences, workshops, and seminars—both virtual and in-person, including nationally recognized gatherings in the field of applied behavior analysis. Career-advancing certifications and coursework that deepen expertise in autism education and services. Required state licenses, renewals, and clearances that uphold quality, safety, and compliance. Tuition reimbursement for eligible degree and continuing-education programs aligned with Vista’s mission. Each of these opportunities strengthens our workforce and ensures that every child, adult, and family we support benefits from evidence-based practices and innovative approaches that evolve with the field. A boost to quality—and stability The Glatfelter Foundation’s support aligns closely with Vista’s Strategic Plan, advancing two of our key organizational pillars: Workforce Development – expanding access to meaningful learning and career growth so staff can advance, specialize, and continue delivering exceptional care. Financial Sustainability – dedicating philanthropic resources to staff training and education, protecting program budgets while enhancing quality across all services. Together, these efforts strengthen Vista’s ability to recruit, develop, and retain talented professionals—ensuring consistent, high-quality support for those we serve and creating new opportunities for individuals seeking a rewarding career in autism services. Gratitude and partnership We are deeply grateful to the Anne M. & Philip H. Glatfelter III Family Foundation for their ongoing commitment to education, community enrichment, and workforce development across Central Pennsylvania. We also recognize the work of Vista’s Development Team, whose leadership and collaboration made this opportunity possible. Their efforts ensure that Vista can continue investing in what makes the greatest difference—the people who make hope and progress possible every day.
