Welcome!
As an employee of Kennedy Krieger Institute, you exemplify kindness, compassion and goodwill. We are one mission, one community, and together we can make an extraordinary impact on the lives of our patients and students, and their families.
The We Are One Employee Giving Drive is a meaningful opportunity for each of us to come together and support Kennedy Krieger’s patients and students, and their families. This initiative is not just about giving – it's about creating a culture of compassion, and purpose.
ALL money raised will benefit the Mary Snyder-Vogel Family Fund, which provides financial assistance to our patients and families for necessary equipment and supplies not covered by insurance, and grants to cover basic living expenses.
Your Impact
Many families served at Kennedy Krieger are underinsured or living below the poverty line. These challenges place a heavy burden on families who are raising a child requiring special and immediate care. Participating in this initiative can meet vital needs for child receiving care at Kennedy Krieger, from transportation to and from appointments to safety equipment, such as a shower chair to specialized toys to afterschool activities to eviction prevention to respite care and more.
Our Goal
Participate in any way you can! We're striving for 100% participation.
Our Purpose
Improving the lives of the students, patients and families to which we have dedicated our professional lives.
Volunteer
Your time is just as valuable as any donation. You can also volunteer to support the Institute or one of its partners.
Please let us know if you would like to volunteer at an upcoming Kennedy Krieger special event, or if you volunteered at ROAR for Kids 2026 or with one of our partners, such as the American Heart Association, Ronald McDonald House Maryland or Special Olympics Maryland.
Our Strategy
Have fun and donate easily to one of your favorite charities—Kennedy Krieger Institute.
