Kara Kennedy Fund
The Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation (JPKF), established in 1946 by Ambassador and Mrs. Joseph P. Kennedy, honors their son Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. and their daughter Rosemary, who was diagnosed with an Intellectual Disability. For over 75 years, JPKF has been a national leader in advocating for and creating programs that benefit individuals with Intellectual Disabilities, their families, and their communities.
Through initiatives like the Public Policy Fellowship, JPKF prepares emerging leaders to drive policy change at both federal and state levels. Additionally, the foundation supports innovative companies that are dedicated to improving the lives of those in the IDD community, fostering inclusion and positive impact on a larger scale.
