2020 Gratitude Report


2020 Gratitude Report
Giving Back, Moving Forward

With our annual Gratitude Report, we honor our donors—the many individuals, families and organizations around the world who choose to give to and support Kennedy Krieger Institute.
 
We’re so thankful for our donors. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to serve 25,000 patients and students a year with treatment, therapy, education and research to help them live their lives to the fullest.
 
We’re grateful that so many people—whether as individuals or families, or through an organization—make the Institute a priority when it comes to giving back. Their generosity allows our patients and students, and their families, to move forward, surpassing goals and fulfilling dreams.
 
To all of our donors: Thank you! To those considering becoming a donor or volunteer, please join us!
