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 Initiative 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.
