The Colburn – Keenan Foundation, Inc. aims to enhance the health and well-being of individuals and families living with chronic illnesses, particularly focusing on those with bleeding disorders. It strives to be a perpetual source of grant funding for charitable organizations benefiting these communities, support families facing socio-economic and insurance challenges due to chronic illnesses, fund research for curing hemophilia, and provide scholarships for higher education to students with bleeding disorders.
The Marcy Shulman Memorial Organization Grant Program supports initiatives designed to enhance the quality of life and health for those living with bleeding disorders and other chronic illnesses. The grant favors proposals that present innovative solutions in areas such as dental education, youth sports safety and wellness, and facility improvements for community support spaces. Specific projects funded have included the purchase of mattresses for a camp, deck replacement and safety upgrades at a community facility, and retreats designed for teens and young adults. This grant honors the legacy of Marcy Shulman, a pivotal figure in the development of the Foundation’s mission and support programs.
