WHAT YOU ARE SUPPORTING

OUR MISSION

To fund and administer services that treat families affected by a rare disease or genetic disorder from conception through adulthood.

OUR VISION

A world where all children with a rare disease or genetic disorder achieve their full potential.

OUR METHOD

The Genesis Foundation for Children lives its mission through the practice of the Feingold Model of Coordinated Care.

OUR HISTORY

In 1982, Dr. Murray Feingold, a leading pediatrician and geneticist, created what he called The Genesis Fund — later renamed The Genesis Foundation for Children — to provide integrated, compassionate care and advocacy for patients with rare diseases and genetic disorders. With The Genesis Fund’s financial support, Dr. Feingold was able to establish The Feingold Center for Children: one center that assembles a team of specialists, organizes multiple appointments, offers satellite clinics, and allows sufficient time to answer any and every question. Today, the Feingold Model of Coordinated Care has expanded to include offering therapeutic and
educational services.
