Julia Anne Kirsch Foundation

Mission: To improve the lives of children and adults with developmental disabilities.

The Julia Anne Kirsch Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, is dedicated to improving the lives of those with significant developmental disabilities and their families. The Foundation honors the memory of a very special girl, Julia Anne Kirsch, who had multiple disabilities and faced many medical challenges. It was through Julia that her parents, Teri and Cliff, became aware of the real challenges and barriers that the disabled and their families face every day of their lives. It was also through Julia that they learned of the special potential each individual holds and that they and their families can lead a full and happy life.

Our Foundation has a number of initiatives including the following:

-Runs a Disability Resource Hub to help families navigate the system

-Provides grants for medical equipment and other items not covered by insurance

-Runs special needs basketball clinics

-Provides grants for the rental of handicap vehicles

-Runs programs to help students with disabilities obtain internships

-Grants special needs tricycles to children
