WithAll Recovery Support Program
Are you seeking intensive treatment for an eating disorder, but day-to-day living expenses are getting in the way?
We are glad you are here. Our hope is WithAll’s Recovery Support Program (“RSP”) helps you know that you are not alone in your efforts to recover yourself and your life from an eating disorder. We have worked to make the application process as simple as possible. The RSP grants offer support for rent, mortgage or groceries while pursuing intensive treatment.
Applications are accepted the first day of every month.
Recovery For All
The Recovery For All Program was created to acknowledge and work to remedy the disparities BIPOC individuals face in accessing eating disorder recovery. BIPOC individuals are 50% less likely to be diagnosed and treated for eating disorders. This is unacceptable. As part of our Recovery Support Program, the Recovery for All Fund prioritizes BIPOC individuals by providing financial aid for essentials, like rent and groceries, during intensive treatment. This is part of WithAll’s mission to ensure everyone, regardless of race or background, can access recovery resources. To apply, enter the lottery on the first of the month, and eligible applicants will be notified as funds allow.
How the Recovery Support Program Works
The application window opens on the 1st of each month at 8:30am CST for 24 hours. The link will appear at the top of the page and say "Apply Now". If the 1st falls on a weekend or Holiday, the application window will open on the next business day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Enter The Lottery Each Month If I Already Received A Grant?
Yes, as long as you still meet the eligibility requirements, you may enter the lottery each month. Grantees are limited to five awards within WithAll’s fiscal year (July-June).
How Do I Apply for the Recovery for All Fund?
The Recovery for All Fund provides living-expense grants to individuals who identify as BIPOC*. This fund has been integrated into the general Recovery Support Program application process. Therefore, to apply, simply enter the lottery on the first of the month and eligible applicants will be notified to apply as funds allow.
*For the sake of brevity, WithAll uses the term BIPOC to indicate Black, Indigenous and People of Color. We acknowledge each individual’s right to self-identify and recognize that not all people for whom BIPOC is intended would choose to label themselves as such. WithAll understands the limitations of labels and embraces both the unique and shared elements of every individual’s lived experiences.
Can I Enter The Lottery More Than Once Each Month To Improve My Chances?
No, only one entry per person each month.

The Anna Westin Fund
Each year, 20% of WithAll’s Recovery Support Program grants are awarded from the Anna Westin Memorial Fund. This special fund was created by Kitty and Mark Westin, in honor of their daughter, Anna, who died in 2000 from an eating disorder. Since 2000, Kitty and Mark have worked tirelessly, to end the stigma and shame associated with eating disorders, and to advocate so that everyone who needs it has access to treatment. Anna’s spirit and Kitty and Mark’s resolve motivate us daily to fulfill our mission to reach as many people as possible who need support as they work to recover from an eating disorder.
