For parents or caretakers of children with rare diseases or genetic disorders, most of the roadblocks they face are due to a lack of guidance and resources. It can be difficult finding necessary therapies and services to help their child, and there are often financial challenges in being able to afford these programs once they do. That’s where The Genesis Foundation for Children comes in.
Our Programs & Services
The Genesis Foundation for Children funds various programs and services that assist families dealing with a rare disease and genetic disorder diagnosis – in practical and productive ways.
Our programs and services are extensions of the Feingold Model of Coordinated Care, which takes a holistic, comprehensive approach to medical care, and allows clinicians to spend more in-depth, quality time with their patients and caregivers.
Therapeutic Programs
The therapeutic programs we fund allow children and young adults with special needs the opportunity to participate in various arts and recreational programs, taught by certified instructors and therapists. We accept grant applications for programs looking for funding. The application submission window is between the months of July and September each year.
Assistive Technologies
Patients often benefit from assistive technologies such as adaptive bicycles, electric strollers, or Braille computers to aid their growth and development. We are committed to giving families access to these tools without worrying about the cost involved.
