Margaret Rose Kennedy Foundation 

Our Mission

The mission of the Margaret Rose Kennedy Foundation is to provide need based financial aid to those with cancer related medical expenses not covered by health insurance. Typically the lack of health insurance coverage involves a gap in coverage. For example, most medical plans cover hospitalization, chemo, oncologist costs, etc. However, quite often medical insurance does not cover the cost of searching for a suitable donor in cases where stem cells or organs are required for a transplant.

We raise funds via special events (such as our annual golf outing), direct mailings, from individual contributions, and corporate matching contributions.

The preferred means to apply for assistance is via a referral through a licensed Social Worker. To receive this financial aid, the recipient will be required to demonstrate financial need in accordance with MRK Foundation policy and IRS regulations.

Our hope is to foster a steadily growing and ongoing legacy of kindness and love in memory of Margaret Rose Kennedy.
