Nonprofit IDD provider I Am Boundless has recently made a significant acquisition in Dayton, Ohio by acquiring a multi-system youth program. This acquisition includes adding three intermediate care facilities (ICFs) in Dayton to Boundless’s portfolio. These residential facilities are dedicated to serving young individuals with complex needs, such as autism, serious mental illness, and high-acuity behaviors.
Dr. Patrick Maynard, President and CEO of I Am Boundless, expressed the organization’s commitment to whole-person care and belief in the boundless potential of every individual in a statement regarding the expansion. He emphasized the investment in the future of these services to ensure they remain strong, sustainable, and focused on compassion.
Based in Worthington, Ohio, Boundless offers a comprehensive range of whole-person services for individuals with IDDs and autism. These services include primary care, dentistry, psychiatry, speech and occupational therapy, and applied behavior analysis (ABA). The organization provides various residential, community, and integrated care services to meet the diverse needs of its clients.
This acquisition is not the first merger and acquisition (M&A) for I Am Boundless. In 2023, the organization merged with Koinonia, projecting revenue exceeding $135 million in the following year and solidifying its position as the largest IDD provider in Ohio.
The nonprofit landscape
The nonprofit sector has seen several significant deals over the past year. In July, Centerstone and Brightli joined forces to create a $1 billion behavioral health and addiction treatment provider. Additionally, Butler Behavioral Health and Best Point Educational and Behavioral Health merged during the summer, resulting in a combined annual revenue of $65 million.
Early in 2025, Devereaux Advanced Behavioral acquired IDD provider Strawberry Fields, further illustrating the trend of consolidation within the nonprofit sector. In 2024, Imperium, a nonprofit network, acquired behavioral health provider Resources for Human Development, with expectations of generating approximately $800 million in annual revenue as a combined entity.
