Real Families. Real Needs. Your Gift Makes a Difference.

Families Are Waiting for Help

Right now, families of children with autism are turning to the Savannah and Goose Foundation for help covering essential disability-related expenses that insurance and other programs may not fully cover.

For some families, that means making their homes safer for a child at risk of wandering. For others, it means accessing speech or occupational therapy their child needs.

We currently have financial assistance applications awaiting funding. Your generosity can help us provide assistance to more families.

Who We Are & What We Do

The Savannah and Goose Foundation is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting children with autism and their families throughout Maryland and Pennsylvania.

Our mission focuses on three core services:

💜 Financial Assistance Grants: Helping eligible families cover autism-related expenses, including therapies, home modifications, and other essential needs.

💜 Advocacy: Helping families navigate educational services, disability programs, insurance challenges, and barriers to accessing appropriate support.

💜 Case Management: Connecting families with qualified professionals, community resources, and available programs.

We understand how overwhelming these systems can be, especially when families are already managing significant caregiving responsibilities.

Our goal is to make finding and accessing support a little easier.

As a volunteer-run organization, we're working to secure funding to hire qualified family advocates and case managers. These professionals will help us provide more consistent, individualized support to the families who need it.

Our Future Is Rooted in Rural Appalachia

Western Maryland and Southern Pennsylvania are home to many underserved families raising children with autism. Parents often travel long distances to access essential services, and qualified professionals can be difficult to find close to home.

While our financial assistance grants serve families throughout Maryland and Pennsylvania, we're concentrating our hands-on advocacy and community partnerships in these underserved communities.

Our long-term vision is to establish a regional headquarters that expands access to qualified professionals, community resources, and meaningful opportunities for individuals with autism and their families.

We want families to have more options and support within their own communities.

Help Us Give Back

As 2026 comes to a close, we're asking our community to help us fund financial assistance requests and expand the support available to families affected by autism.

Your donation helps us:

💜 Provide Financial Assistance: Fund eligible grants for therapies, home safety modifications, and other autism-related needs.

💜 Hire Family Advocates: Build our capacity to help families navigate complicated educational, insurance, and disability service systems.

💜 Hire Case Managers: Expand personalized support that connects families with qualified professionals and community resources.

Make GiveBack 2026 part of your year-end giving and help us provide both the financial assistance and professional support families need.

If you're unable to donate, sharing our campaign with friends, family, and local businesses is another meaningful way to support our mission.

Thank you for believing in our work and supporting the families we serve.
