About Us
Committed to Making a Difference
Welcome to the Savannah and Goose Foundation, a dedicated nonprofit organization committed to enhancing the lives of children with autism and their families in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Our mission is to create a supportive environment that values and includes all individuals, regardless of their unique abilities and challenges.
At the heart of our work is a deep commitment to raising funds for local autism families and customizing our support to meet the specific needs of each child. We offer a range of programs, including financial assistance grants, an autism service dog program, post-graduate scholarships, and advocacy support. While our autism service dog program is an important part of our work, particularly for children prone to eloping, it’s just one of the many ways we support our community. By providing comprehensive assistance and connecting families with essential resources, we aim to foster a stronger, more inclusive community where every child and family affected by autism can thrive and feel valued.
